Guest post by Elyshia Geldenhuys I tilted my head towards the afternoon sky, the sun warming my face, the cool breeze quieting everything to a still. My son nestled into the carrier wrapped around me, his eyes beginning to slowly close as I talked to him. I rounded a corner, and my words started to turn…

Our life journey is a lot like a train ride. Sometimes plugging away at a steady pace, sometimes hurtling along at breakneck speed, and sometimes coming to a dead stop. Steam locomotives pulled trains on tracks that were laid by workers long before the train was scheduled to start its journey. The tracks were laid,…

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Hebrews 10:23 This was the verse that the Lord laid on my heart for 2023. I didn’t know what was in store for me, but He obviously did. My year started out, as they all…
