Do you ever feel as though life has taken over and you have felt your heart harden? Have you ever stopped… for a moment… just a moment and caught yourself to consumed with today. Lately I have been traveling down this path. I have found myself to consumed with work to notice people. I have…
Do you live in the kingdom or do you simply have your name on the list? To live in the kingdom means everyday becomes a glorious adventure. Outside fears do not still your joy.
