(Repost from November 2020) It’s never easy for me to leave my adult children in God’s hands. I don’t understand why I keep feeling the urge to step in and do things they can and want to do themselves or to give unsolicited advice. As Moms, I believe, we have this built in desire to…

But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. Psalm 86:15 NLT I think everyone wants to be loved. I know I want to be loved. I want to be loved by my family and friends and even people that don’t know…

Anyone out there struggling to believe today? You have been praying for weeks, months, and years and satan whispers “it’s hopeless”.
