What to do on Hard Days and in Tough Times

We’ve all had bad days and tough times. The first two weeks of 2023 threw some crazy and unexpected things at me. The last 8 months of 2022, my husband and I were separated and living in separate states. We will likely remain this way for a few more months.  We’ve been married three years...

Be Still and Know

Psalm 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Sometimes things fall apart. Sometimes things don't work out the way you intended them to. That's where I am right now. I'm in an in-between state in life. My family is separated right now. We have been for a few months.  In the...
