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

February 7, 2022

I’ll be honest… it seems I’ve been facing a battle within the place of my time of communion with the Lord.

February 2, 2022

God has been reminding me from time to time, over the last couple of years, of these memories with Him (that I had forgotten until I found the old home videos).

You know what? Over the last couple of weeks, to be very honest, I have dipped into this “what if, what if” kind of thinking.
