The Weary World Rejoices

I feel like these lyrics right here are EVERYTHING 2020. These 4 words from “O Holy Night” strike me over and over again. Every single day during this holiday season, I am feeling this message in my heart. All year long I have been using the Bible app on my phone. It started Jan 1st,

T minus 26 days

26 days until I turn 40. An age that I am super comfortable and am embracing with all that I have. This last decade has been so important. Has taught me so much and really helped me to grow into the woman I was meant to be. Pretty regularly I find myself looking at the
