Good Day
Almost exactly 3 years ago now a friend of mine passed on. A friend who was like 35 years older than me. I had grown up in church with him as a leader. He lead us in Sunday school, in youth groups and in mission trips. Jim was one of a kind. My heart stillContinue reading “Good Day”

Often you don’t have any sayContinue reading “You Control You”
Be Grateful
Every single step is going toward something better. You can only get there if you keep moving. Sometimes it can feel like we are at a stand still, but we aren’t. Keep working hard with a grateful heart.

Remember what this is all for. Treat yourself with Kindness and remember that YOU matter!
