A couple of months ago, as a friend and I headed to a belated birthday celebration, my car decided to act up. The traffic light turned green, but the car wouldn’t go. Thankfully, God allowed it to get back to my place (which we weren’t far away from). We got out of my car and … More “Keep Trusting Me”
I force myself to walk slower. A seemingly unimaginable task for someone who has walked fast their whole life. I close my eyes, breathing deeply.

As I laid my head down on my soft pillow trying to get some much needed rest, my mind wondered to and fro over things people have said recently.

This past weekend, as I was sitting at a picnic table enjoying the fresh air, I looked up towards the sky. I noticed the moon and a few stars. Right beside me was a scraggly tree. The branches were completely bare and they reminded me of roots that secure a tree in place. Looking up … More What Are You Rooted In?
Have you ever talked with someone after they’ve gone fishing and they tell you countless stories about what went right or wrong during their expedition?
