"Get to know this kind Father." - Melissa Helser I love this quote! One of my focuses this summer is to dig in to the Word and discover another layer of the Father's heart.

One Foot in Front of the Other
I've written before about next steps and our journey heavenward. About the race, the path, the pilgrimage. About perseverance, that we need to keep going.
