WELCOME

This Blog is titled, “Refined” as Webster defines: freed from impurities.  Its purpose is to tip the scales of what people read, instead of the daily readings on how to change the outer appearance; this will focus on benefiting the inner self.  A change of heart.  It’s better explained in the song, “Refiner’s Fire.”

Purify my heart

Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You, Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will

 

This song helps to expresses the Webster definition; freed from impurities.  Trials are considered to be a refiner's fire, a time for us to experience, learn and become better because of it.  Everyone has trials, and this a site that gives an opportunity for not only you to tell your story, but also for others to learn from your story.  As the Chinese Proverb says, “To know the road ahead, ask those coming back," this month's theme.

Every month the blog will be renewed with a new theme and new stories.  And this month’s theme goes with the season of a new year of 2012.  With every New Year we make resolutions, or attempt to, with pen in hand and a blank sheet of paper we ask ourselves, “What did we do last year?  What have we learned?  What will we do differently?”  It is the main inspiration behind this first post that will be highlighting those who have gone through a change in their life and how they were refined through it.

The following posts will include how one woman accepted her physical differences, another on how she overcame the death of her Father, another will share the outcome of real passion and another on how he lives after given a time limit. 


This month's theme...

"THOSE COMING BACK..."
