Today I am guest posting over at Lyli Dunbar’s Faith on Fire Linkup.  Lyli is doing a new series entitled “Refined” and I have the honor of kicking off the series.  You can start reading the post below, but then hop on over to Lyli’s place and leave me a comment there plus if you could leave a comment here letting me know you stopped by it would be awesome too!
