I watched the pretty little birds flying through the air, stopping to rest and eat on our bird feeders. It was windy, cold and there was rain going up against them. Yet, that did not seem to stop them from doing what they wanted and needed to do. They still continued to fly forward in…

My husband and I went on a date today. We went on one of our favorite dates; antiquing. Walking into an antique store, is like stepping back in history. We saw things from our grandparents and parents time, we even seen things from our own childhood. In a world that is advancing and changing so…

I said, God I’m scared Trust me, he then replied I have seen you in your joy I have held you when you cried I said I am trying But fear gets the best of me Fall into my word, he said And trust beyond what you see I am there in the quiet I…
