"There came a man who was sent from God: his name was john. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so thaty through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light." --John 1:6-8

No day by day detailed story, just Blake himself sharing the challenges as he follows Jesus everyday even when its not always easy in this world.
I like your layout, the text is easy to read, and you have some excellent content.
I was pretty shocked myself.
Have a great day!
You know that there is a saying “its Friday, it can’t be all that bad.” Just when Friday comes and really nothing goes just the way it should… we stop and realize its Friday and it’s all good! But can we really handle life’s challenges when nothing seems to be going right?
But just maybe our boss, our parents and God is testing our abilities to see how we actually handle the challenge when given. Sometimes we say one thing but our actions speak differently when challenged! Just like when Jesus challenges Peter’s faith “come to me” walk on water as Jesus himself was doing… but Peter lack the faith! His action did speak differently than what he would have spoken!
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV) God is in control of these so called “life’s challenges” that seem to happen again and again. But let us forget the past, leave it behind, give our worries to God and pray. After all God has never let us down all he ask if we just have some faith. “…But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He delivered us from such deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us” (2 Corinthians 1:9-10 NIV).
Are you ready to place your hope and faith in God today? Let us come to the Father who gives us His all, His love, His compassion, and His comfort to those who truly seek Him!
