Road Trip
When we talk about the Christmas story, we rarely dwell on Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem. The trek from Nazareth was eighty miles and Mary was on the verge of having a child.

It is not always easy to follow God’s plan for our lives. There are times where it may feel like things are not going the right way. Sometimes we have to give up on what we want and trust in God, knowing He will guide us through any obstacle we face. Work through hardships with joy, knowing you are growing in your walk with God.
