Winter brings its hush with new falling snow, and life slows down for just a little while. My baby girl was sick with flu for a couple of days and so we were home-bound. I relished the moments of holding my little girl even as she cried with pain in her stomach and a fever […]
Take a few minutes to watch this video above before you read this blog. Over the last seven years, I have been on a journey to love God with all of my mind. I have grown up loving God with all of my heart, and soul. Through music and art, through worship and prayer I
