Mama Knows Best

Today has been exciting, and boring... I didn't sleep well last night from contractions, which increased in intensity and proximity as the morning drew on.

My Daily Time in the Word

Ironic as it sounds, I've been praying for diligent faith, disciplined faith, and consistency in my walk with the Lord... That's coming from a week of missed Bible study and prayer...
