Don't Follow Your Heart, Guide It
I probably enjoy social media a little bit more than I should, but to me it’s can be sad, hilarious, frustrating and many times disappointing.

Trusting God for Life's Big Decisions
It’s hard making big decisions in life. Often times we put it off or because we are so afraid we don’t make them at all.
