This week, we lost the best grandpa anyone could have ever hoped for. He was a man full of wisdom, always ready with a story, a piece of advice, or a witty remark that could make anyone laugh. He had an incredible way of loving people, and what I will miss most is...
It is almost midnight here; everyone is sound asleep. The hum of the swing and piano hymns softly play in the background. My Bible is open as I lay here and honestly talk with God… the raw, deep, and vulnerable prayers. Here are my thoughts…“Then said Jesus unto...
It is raining outside, and as I sit here rocking William and listening to the happy and noisy chatter of five others playing around me, it almost feels like a page out of a storybook. I know I am living my dream. But it’s not always this peaceful. In fact, less...
