Posted Closer to God, Detox, Feelings - Belief, God knows your Heart
inReading through my daily bible reading, devotions & email, there was that one steady word…humble

Final daily email: Writer talked about a conflict and how she wanted to respond to the phone call “to prove how right I was and how wrong the other person was” (Lysa Terkeurst)

It has been awhile since I actually blogged… over 2 years to be exact. Hard times, no. Busy life, no again… Allowing fear of me writing, and what others think stop me cold in my tracks…absolutely. Yet, constantly, that small nagging little voice has been persistent about blogging.
