In my adventures so far with trust, I came across Jeremiah 17:7-8... "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.

An Invitation to Advent
2020 is such an interesting year. There are parts of it I hate, things I wish weren't included in the story.

Sometimes the goal, the big picture, the finish line can be overwhelming. I can feel frozen, stuck, numb. I forget that there's a simple next step to take. One foot … Continue reading One Foot in Front of the Other
