Ramblings of a Christian Mom
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 127:3-4 NKJV [More...]
I've talked before about how I struggle with fear and how I was attempting to conquer it. I must confess that I didn't keep up with that attitude for very long.
