Walking with God, Digesting Scripture and Pointing Others to Grow Deeper in their Faith
I ordered my groceries from Instacart again today. I’ve been doing this for over a year. I try be kind to the person who delivers my groceries because I imagine that delivering groceries probably wasn’t their dream job. I’ve seen what looked like struggling single moms, newly married couples, young people and others shop for... Continue Reading →
Some parts of our faith are only between us and God. This is where God speaks to us and leads us. God fuels us and refreshes us through prayer.
