Transferring Faith

The other day I was thinking about how easy it is to fall into the trap of self-reliance, basing my thoughts and actions on my experience of the world, and trying to learn how to navigate within it. I couldn’t help but wonder if that was exactly how I’d been living. Can you see me …

A Year of Perseverance

On December 31, 2021December 31, 2021 By Sandy B.In blessings, challenges, life, miscellaneous1 Comment

Yet, because God is good, I knew persevering was not without reward. When you are given your One Word for the year, …
