Hey Gurls! Today, I want to talk about something that I think we all struggle with—waiting. Now, I’m not talking about waiting in line at the grocery store (though that can test anyone’s patience, ha!). I’m talking about waiting on the Lord. The Bible verse I’m reflecting on today is Psalms 27:14. Psalms 27:14 NIV14 Wait for…
Have You Read the Full Serenity Prayer? Have you ever heard the full version of the Serenity Prayer? I’m sure many of you are familiar with the first few lines, but there’s so much more to this beautiful prayer!
