With last week being the 4th of July, people in our neighborhood were shooting off fireworks several nights in a row. And while it was very cool to be able to see a small fireworks show while sitting on our back deck, our 7-month-old puppy Sadie was not so thrilled.
Read MoreThe three months after my wedding were some of the most stressful I’ve ever experienced. I got married. I moved in with my husband’s apartment, but only for a couple of months before we moved to a different state. My husband sprained his ACL and LCL playing basketball. Our dog had three different health emergencies. We had one of our cars in the shop so we were down to one car for two people. And we were trying to buy a house. Needless to say, a lot of different things were occupying my mind.
Read MoreDid you know that the Bible says, “fear not” 365 times? I’m not one to believe in coincidences when it comes to God. I think it was very purposeful that the same number of times we’re told not to be afraid is the same number of days there are in a year.
