4 Benefits of Preparation & Rest
Last year at this time we were making the final preparations for our daughter’s wedding. It was stressful, intense, and very busy. There were so many details and it seemed like every day we thought of something else that needed to be done or picked up or added to the list.

After a couple years I had frustrated meltdown and took some time off to regroup. Almost two years off! So after that meltdown and spending much time in prayer to seek God’s will for my blog and writing, I believe he gave me an idea. A simple phrase based on Ephesians 2:10 that would be a rebrand of my blog…
