Change of Plans
This past week I have been a living witness to Proverbs 16:9 — “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Over the course of the week I was making hour by hour plans and of course it was overwhelming and I felt stressed because I wanted everything to go…

More Than a Drink
Allow me a moment to tell you the back story before I get to the good part. I was heading out to an appointment and just as I was about to leave, I turned back and grabbed a bottle of water. Mind you I hardly travel with water, which is something I always regret later.…
