We all know that there are certain qualities about each one of us that we do not like, as well as parts of us that are unlovable. Without Christ in us, there is no power to subdue the enemy that is within us (Romans 7:23-25). Therefore, the struggle is one of faith.

We headed north by faith, sure that God would work a miracle before we came to the US/Canada border.
