Does God ever give us more than we can handle?
This morning as I sat in church, I felt the weight of all the ways I have fallen short: as a wife, as a mom, in my devotional life, and so many other things. My kids are home for the summer and they don’t listen to me, but rather spend their energy screaming at each […]
