My Bubble
We all have things that we want to do or desire to do, but fear is holding us back. Fear of rejection or just fear of the unknown. I often deal with this same fear and fight right through it, sometimes. Lol. Storytime: For those of you who don’t know, I released a book less…
Hey That’s Borrowed…
I’m taking a stewardship class at church and,- let me say, I’ve learned a lot. It has me re-evaluating my entire life. I understand that nothing we have is truly ours.
