Margin

There are days that I am just so darn exhausted that the idea of even just thinking makes me want to cry.

It’s Simple

Every year I look forward to YoungLives camp and every year it exceeds my expectations. It is one week of the year that love shines through no matter what happens. It is the one time that the expectations are simple: to love. Showing love is not always simple. It is difficult to show love when…
