I will trust you with my tomorrow, I know you’ll get me by today I know you listen to my heart And that you hear me, when I pray I know my hope is in your word I hold onto it, as it is said As I hold onto your promises In the words, which…

I lost all of my grandparents on my side of the family, a few years ago. I think about them often. I think of the love that we shared and the memories that were made. Though, I also think of the things that they taught me. Even when I may not have noticed. We can…

I am longing for God more lately. Maybe it is because I am seeing more and more dysfunction in the world around me, maybe it’s because I am getting older and wiser, maybe I am just realizing the quickness of life and how having a relationship with our Lord is the most important mission that…
