Where do you run when life gets hard?

I lay in bed next to my tender boy… the one who wears his heart on his sleeve. He feels it unfair, but I whisper in his ear that his biggest struggle also has the potential to be his best gift.  Help him to see it for himself one day soon,

Hello, and welcome to our last week of our Psalm 119 study! I am so proud of everyone who has stuck with us this far. Psalm 119 is not an action packed chapter – instead, it methodically and in great detail lays out the virtues of God’s word and the

I am the Psalmist…

I am the Psalmist. I too have a history of crying out to God, reminding Him of all that I do for Him and asking Him the “whens” and the “whys”… When Lord? When will you avenge? Why Lord? Why have you allowed this? And I too have a history of
