Do you ever ask yourself the question “When will I ever learn?” Of course that question can be tied to many things, but the specific thing I’m talking about is “When will I ever learn to die to myself and trust the Lord?” I feel like that’s been the theme for me these past few [...]
Merry Christmas everybody! The past month has been full of Christmas parties and gift exchanges, but one party in particular touched my heart so much I just have to share it with you.
