My husband and I just returned home from a two week trip to India. Our time there was nothing short of life changing. Our travels took us to Delhi, Rajasthan cities, Agra and Varanasi. It was a packed itinerary from the moment we landed. The sites foreigners are taken to happen to be in the […]
Faithfulness has two different meanings. If we mean the faithfulness of God or Jesus, it refers to steadfastness, honesty, firmness, and God’s utter dependability based on His unchanging character.

As I close out another year, I find myself taking time to go back over my diary, my thoughts, my posts, my work and my life in general. I am surprised (not sure why) at how quickly another year has gone by. They go faster and faster! Gone are the days as a child when […]
