Check out this week's teaching via video on YouTube, or keep reading! ❤ I'm always inspired by these words from Melissa Helser: "Get to know this kind Father."

Trusting God Through the Waiting
I'm so excited to bring you this month's guest blog from one of my forever friends, Sonja Cannell. I met Sonja shortly after giving my life to Jesus 16+ years ago in Marysville, Washington. We were bridesmaids in each other's weddings, and though we've lived apart from each other for years, we've been able to … Continue reading Trusting God Through the Waiting

Just make sure you're holding on to God. Recently I found myself in heavy agreement with Psalm … Continue reading Just Hold On
