Romans 4:20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God . . . I’ve wanted to focus on really studying small passages of Scripture and God has blessed that desire. For the past couple days, there have been small verses …
Guest post by Rose Dickinson A mom who won’t let you choose your own major or school. A father who berates you and calls you names. Who’s in and out of the picture. A mom who’s abusive. However you define “difficult,” you’re living with a parent (or even parents) who might seem like anything but …
