Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. “I can do it myself!” I don’t know about you, but I say this to myself regularly (perhaps multiple times a day). It’s difficult for me to ask for help, and in many cases, it’s just easier to do something on […]

Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. “You are chosen.” These are words most people likely long to hear. And hopefully, it’s a phrase we all here during our lifetime. However, that’s not always the case … or at least it may not be the case here on […]
