If we seek to write words of lasting substance, we must be people of prayer who are also led by the Holy Spirit.

Come back from disappointment and failure and build resilience to go again.

Domestic violence is the systematic way one person tries to gain power and control over another person physically, emotionally, sexually, spiritually, economically, or psychologically.

We find our footing, belonging, purpose, and peace in and through a relationship with Jesus. You wouldn’t expect a relationship to thrive if communication was sparse, and time together was disposable. The further we move away from God, the harder the distance feels to regain.
