Total waste
There's a reason for everything, although we often question what that reason is. Day in and day out, we selflessly pour into the lives of others, and do what we feel we are called to do, yet it all seems to be in vain. We walk the fine line between trust and doubt, but lately … Continue reading Total waste
Too late

I know it's hard living, especially when you don't have the means too. I know it's hard to trust God, especially when things have gone from bad to worse. I know it's hard to have hope, especially when things aren't getting any better. I know it's hard to keep yourself uplifted, especially when the weight … Continue reading Trust me, I know
