“God doesn’t tell you to do hard things so He can stand back and laugh and watch you struggle.  He tells you to do things the things that He knows are gonna work out to your good in the end.” Joyce Meyer Arriving atop of the overlook of Swan Falls Dam I could see the entire […]

With a kiss on the cheek, you’re off on the bus.  Your day is only beginning I hope you know you are more than enough.  The hallways are busy and humming with excitement.  Each step you take is propelling your ultimate decision.  How you will act and if you’ll be kind, all shows forth as you pure […]
