In All Honesty

When I was a little girl, I remember looking out my parents’ bedroom window at a bright star in the sky and prayed, “please God, help me tell the truth.” I remember this prayer, as I was quite the imaginative girl, who liked to exaggerate the truth and make up stories that sounded better inContinue reading “In All Honesty”

In Obediance

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:9 Yesterday afternoon I worked on the blog post for today.

Anxiety is at an all-time highContinue reading “Seek Ye First”

Look to Him

There is something special that your child does when they expand their horizons and try new things. Whether it is taking their first few steps across the floor and into your arms as they giggle with joy.
