I was looking for a particular verse in Isaiah during my devotions this week. As I was writing in my journal, as a prayer to God, I cried out that I felt stretched and felt there were so many different things to do. Yet, each time something has come up…
Overwhelmed
Y’all…yes you heard me right. I’m pulling out a southern saying instead of my usual “you guys” ’cause I just need to be on the down-low and draw out how this week has gone. “y’all, it’s been that kind of week!” Last week I told you I’ve been reading through…
This is the season of Lent. It is a time some people give up something in order to take that time, or their thoughts, to spend with God and think about Him. I have chosen this time to re-evaluate what we have in the house that needs to go. No,…
