I want to live every day of my life. I don’t want to give up and I don’t want to quit. By God’s grace and with His help I want to live my purpose each day He gives me breath. I used to tie my purpose to my job. You know, being an excellent wife, great…
You need stillness. It’s important for your faith and your health! But being still is almost impossible. It is for me and maybe it is for you too!
