3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

March 7, 2022

…but He is complex. A lot of times God does things much differently than we expect. His ways are not our ways.

February 19, 2022

One of the things I am learning about living life in the midst of facing fears and anxiety, is learning to accept… that fear and anxiety might not always just “go away” when I’d like them to “just go away.” Learning to accept… that I won’t always be swept up and “rescued” from all of… Read More 2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome
