This verse jumped out at me as I read through Mark 5 this week. I have been seeking more of God's presence, and here were crowds of people pleading with him to go away and leave them alone. It is easy to have a sense of righteous indignation when you can't possibly be in that situation. ... Continue Reading →
I woke up Monday morning with my heart racing a mile a minute from a vivid dream. My husband and someone else were running away from someone. They took off out the door and were on foot. In the home where we were, there was also a young woman with a young child, which was... Continue Reading →
Over the past twelve months I have been on what I thought was a focused journey.
