Redeemed!
I put on my chapstick-soothing, cooling and refreshing. I plug in my earbuds-turning up the tunes that inspire, encourage and move me. I allow the warm sun to radiate through my window and touch my cheek. I am ready. I am ready to write, pour my heart out and let God fill in the blanks.… Continue reading Redeemed!
