…And then… we understand.💡

April 20, 2021

A Part in His Play

April 19, 2021

He wants you to know…

April 12, 2021

And when that began to change,… Read More He wants you to know…

Something Old, Something New

April 9, 2021

This morning I took a journey back through some of my journals from 2016-2018… Every now and then the Lord prompts me go with Him into my journals, because most of the time, He has something fresh and new for me to see and to grasp and to understand…something fresh, that will “reignite” certain areas… Read More Something Old, Something New
