I turned to look and it was three college women, riding bikes while harmonizing their song. They were singing, “My Savior's Sword” One started, the … Continue reading Sword
In my last post, I was talking about being on the struggle bus. Yesterday I asked God for some encouragement. He was happy to answer.

Once again, it happened to me. And I love when it does. I read a verse that everyone knows, and we kinda blow over it when we read it, because it is so familiar. But this week, BAM!
