I have honestly not been looking forward to starting school next Monday. I’ve been clinging onto each moment of summer and the familiarity of the current season I’m in. Change is on the horizon and quickly approaching me. God has been opening and closing doors. The last part of Revelation 3:7 says, “What he opens [...]

I struggle with things just like we all do, but I want to use my struggles to help others. I hope you are encouraged by knowing you are not alone. For the past couple of weeks, I have been obsessed with a certain YouTube channel. There’s nothing wrong with the channel, but I made it [...]
