When you Long to Feel Secure…
I recently felt prompted to share a poem that I recently wrote for a friend. I wrote it to encourage her in the love of our Heavenly Father.

What’s your view about autumn? To be honest, I used to really dislike it.

What if there was something astoundingly, mind-blowing good in your future… forever?
