I started 2020 with a fear which carried over from the previous year. This fear had to do with my heart health. Just a couple months into 2020, though, this fear was replaced by a new fear: Covid-19. The pandemic brought with it not only fear for the health of myself and those I knowContinue reading “One Lesson Learned in 2020”

GOD IS PERSISTENT
Have you ever had one of those “middle-of-the-night, brutally honest, two way conversations with God?” I have. In fact, due to not sleeping well in the past week from the surgery, I have had quite a few. (I could use another week just to sit and process everything He has shown me.)

HIS DAILY PRESENCE
Every morning before the sun rises, before I get in my car to head to work, I take a walk. This is my favorite part of the day.
