About Tori Close
I am a Christian freelance writer, photographer, and web designer living in the beautiful state of Montana with my hubby and two children.

I am currently writing for AC, to help hone my skills, and earn a few $$ at the same time. (c:

-- Please do *not* post large images in the comments area. They stretch my profile page out, and they will be deleted. -- While I love hearing from you all, I really do prefer a personal note over images, but if you do leave an image in the comment area, please keep it small. It helps so much when people are reading, as they don't have to scroll the page back and forth. Thanks so much for understanding! (:

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy ... being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 1:3-6

Rejoicing through the trials   1/09/2008 - 1:28 PM
How many of us can actually say that we rejoice through our trials, or that we find joy in being persecuted for our faith? Probably not many. It's so easy for us to instead feel sorry for ourselves, or use it as an excuse to be lazy in our faith. A... (login or sign up to read more)
