School Year Prayers From a Mama’s Heart – April
Wisdom doesn’t come natural. It’s not something you can give to your child on their tenth birthday and expect them to cherish it, treasure it, and keep it forever.

Some of the storms were so strong they made us take cover in the basement or stay inside for days on end. Winter can be long and lonely. Now I stand outside exposed to the elements and I feel the gentle warmth of the sunshine. I close my eyes and breathe deeply as the cool breeze lightly
How To Choose Faith Over Fear
Truly it all seemed impossible. I told the Lord I would do anything He told me to, but when He actually gave the instructions, I was terrified. I began to talk myself out of what God was saying. I told myself maybe I was just making it up in my mind, or perhaps this was something I should pray about and wait a while longer so I could get more information, more details, and have more time to grow, prepare, and learn.
