hi friends, and a happy, joyful friday to you all! life recently has, at times, left me more-than-weary lately. has that happened to you?perhaps i feel that way because i’ve tried to “manage” life and be strong in my own power and strength. and I’ve become grace-less. selfish. self-absorbed.perhaps because i have not dipped into the deep of the Only One’s limitless well of living water… filled …
hi there all ~ever hear that classic ol’ western phrase, “rode hard, and put away wet?” that would pretty much sum up this past work-week! and at least i am truly dry ~ and fortunate i am not having to cope with flooding and ice jams that have been the very hard and challenging “norm” for so many of my …
