Some people may wonder about the title of my blog. It comes from my name. My name literally means "victorious one." However, the only way we can have real victory at all is through Jesus. On our own, we may stumble and struggle and fight our way to what seems to be the top of our world, but in view of eternity we are only at the top of a little sand dune that will erode and blow away over time.
There is a song called "Victory in Jesus." The chorus goes like this:
Oh victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood.
He loved me 'ere I knew Him,
and all my love is due Him.
He plunged me in victory, through His redeeming blood.
The song sums it up. He bought me. He paid the price for my failures, so that I can have eternal victory. But without Him, I cannot win.

Amazingly true Victoria. I loved your post. It was very uplifting. Your sand dune analogy is so true. No matter how hard we try to accomplish something without Jesus, we always just end up slipping right back to where we started.
I especially enjoyed your outlook on life: a tiny sand dune, totally unstable and insignificant. When we get to heaven we will be lifted to the tops of mountains, soaring under eagles wings at the very feet of Jesus. Amazing.
Christ has conquered all. Amen!
