picking up where i left off

It’s been a long time since I cracked open my Bible on my own. Sure I’ve read some at church or small group meetings, but it’s not the same. It’s been quite a roller-coaster of pain and joys for me over these past few months that mirrors the...

all because of this

There are times when work weeks are long. There are times when all my energy is exhausted. There are times I wish I could just stop but I know I have to finish. There are times that people think I’m crazy. There are times I cannot sleep. There are times I know...
