From my journal 2/28/2020 Today we went to the sea of Galilee and rode a boat, to remind us of when Peter walked on the water and Jesus calmed the raging sea. Pastor Robby spoke that just because you're in a storm does not mean that Jesus is absent. It was a powerful time. I... Continue Reading →

Anything is Possible #Write28Days
When you are in the midst of brokenness, everything can feel impossible, especially change and healing.
