If you don’t know where that is, it’s on the other side of the Ontario road map (for … Continue reading Camp of the Woods
The End of a Year
The other day I was reading people’s New Year posts about how much they hated 2020 and were happy it was over. It made me feel really sad and I knew I disagreed, but I wasn’t sure why. It wasn’t until later when I was reading my journals from this year that I figured out … Continue reading The End of a Year
Does God make Mistakes?
Do you ever feel like there are those times when we believe God has made a mistake? Of course we would never say it aloud, but we feel it.

Joy
I've never given my testimony before. I'm not sure where to start, or what all I should and shouldn't write for fear of rambling. I don't know where to begin. This much I am certain of as I start things off; that my joy will always be found in Jesus. When I think of telling … Continue reading Joy
Be Still
I like to pray on my way to work. It's a quiet moment I have before my day gets busy. This morning when I was driving to work, I was praying like I usually do. One of the things I prayed about was my benefits covering my dental work, as I've had a few visits … Continue reading Be Still
