Sometimes life catches you off guard. You think you know where you’re headed, what your next steps will be, and then you hit an obstacle that rises up out of nowhere. You don’t know how it got there, or why, but suddenly you’re thrown off course, uncertain of anything. Our most recent obstacle was called […]
Some days, no matter how much you want your faith to sustain you, fear still plants itself in your path. You try to remember that God is with you, that you’ve been doing your best to be faithful, but nothing comforts your soul. You might feel like the disciples in the boat with Jesus, the […]
