Two months ago, my fitness coach shared this powerful devotional by Joseph Prince. I decided to revisit it because I need a testimony and a reminder that sound mind is my inheritance. Dare to believe this with me! I am desperately in need of a perfectly functioning brain at this time in my life. It…
My sudden awakening to the love of my mother has brought me wholeness and has given me the closure I needed. I encourage every orphan and anyone who was abandoned by a parent to reflect on the love that 'perhaps' existed. Reflect on the times you shared, the moments you remember, and let your heart feel love.
