Surrendering control
n “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” – Matthew 11:28 When God wants us to surrender control I often feel it’s my duty to be responsible for absolutely everything in my home. I feel like the main character from the movie “Bad Moms“…running around on […]

Safe in the arms of God..
