Best friends are the best! You get to experience life with a special person who knows you in and out. Both good and bad times are spent together and you love each other through thick and thin. Life with a best friend is truly a blessing. There is nothing more…
Rest
I’ve been reading a lot of Paul’s writings in the Bible lately. My favorite part is when he ends his letters. It’s not because I don’t like what he’s written and I’m glad it’s over, nope, it’s more because he always ends with encouragement. Now may the God of peace…
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I feel and trying to figure out how to solve life’s issues right now. I’ve come up with nothing. I have no solution, I can’t fix my problems or your problems. Something seems wrong about my not being able to make things…

Last time we talked about life being hard. We discussed we all have these days, the importance of moving forward, the need for other people, the need to focus on God’s goodness, and the importance of breathing! When we continue to move forward, if we’re not careful, we can start…
