A recent conversation inspired this post/rant about something I think needs to be discussed. Dealing with our feelings and just going with the flow. So many times we overthink absolutely everything, even the way we are supposed to feel about certain situations. I’m the worst at this, but why are we like that? What is …
When I’m not faithful, He still is. Guilt can be an overwhelming and all-consuming feeling. In my experience it comes, more often than not, like a maverick, with crushing weight.
