Cornerstone

Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 18

I was reading through my journal today and came across some sermon notes. This is a quote from my Pastor, "Even in the midst of a chaotic, violent world, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

DANCE

Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 13

loading.... 

 

Yesterday I shared my life verse from Zephaniah 3:17 and how I can picture myself dancing with Jesus. This image has not always been easy, but as I get older, it comes more often.

Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 12

My life verse is Zephaniah 3:17
