At the same time, I prayed over another dear friend as she practically skipped with joy to the hospital with her daughter, expecting a beautiful new life. One life might be at … Read more
Get your mental “gloves” on. Fight back against those negative thoughts: stand on TRUTH in 2017. Recently, I was blessed to be the speaker at a women’s retreat in Arizona.
