Grown in Faith

I recently read something online that said, “God didn’t bring you this far, to only bring you this far.” Yes, this sounds so basic; yet, it is so true. We pray for opportunities and then when God blesses us with them, we start to let doubt come over us. On another side, we may be…

My husband is my best friend. He takes care of myself, as well as our boys. After working long hours, he still comes home and offers a hand in any way that I need help. On top of that, he parents our children beautifully. I am blessed to have a good man, as my husband.…
