The Joy of Green Arrows
Some teens dream about the day when they can get their driver’s license. I wasn’t one of them. Driving terrified me. I got my driver’s permit like all my friends at 15 and then I let it expire. In fact, I let my driver’s permit expire three times. My parents, bless their hearts, kept trying… Continue reading

New Years Goals
2014 was hard. Hard in a lot of ways that I can’t write about on a public blog. At 4:29 a.m. this morning, I woke up with a desire to do my morning devotional. I went to bed pretty late so at first I wasn’t very happy to be woken up at such an early… Continue reading
