FAITH OVER FEAR

In From The Heart, Have A Little Faith, My Book

I haven’t been blogging lately as I’ve stepped back to see how this whole virus thing unfolded.

Yesterday, while on a walk with my kiddos to get some fresh air, I asked God “What in the world is going on in the world right now?” I’ve seen all kinds of responses in my newsfeed to this virus from this being the end times to this just being…

I don’t think there’s anything more painful than walking through those seasons (and often can be years and years)…

In Have A Little Faith

Faith, like true faith, not just get up and go to church on Sunday, is one of the hardest things to do.
