As an introvert, and highly sensitive person, this has always been an area of struggle. I am always in my thoughts, ruminating, and over-thinking. There are both strengths and weaknesses to being …

What does it mean to you that He is your God? I’m continuing to study the names of God using the book “Praying the Names of God” by Ann Spangler. This week I’m learning about God being a shield and refuge. These names tell us that He keeps watch over our lives and keeps us …

Matthew 11:28-30
