Throughout my life I have struggled with depression, anxiety, anger, and fear. I have felt helpless and given up on hope. But I have never stopped crying out to Jesus to save me. And my life goes so much smoother when I thank God. Oppression is lifted off of me every time I remember what…
“Every time I climb on to a plane, I hand over the control of my life to the pilot. I trust he knows what he is doing. I’ve learned I can trust God even more.” Quote from Brave Mom by Sherry Surratt (pg132). This morning I had a horrible taste in my mouth and an…
What if my child gets kidnapped while I am at the park? What if I get killed when I ‘m alone with my kids and they are abandoned? What if I fail my children? What if I get too angry at my loved ones? What if I can’t find my child when they wonder away? I’m…
