PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• I have been waiting for this day for months! It’s the first day of Spring! I will sneeze my head off for the next month (even more than normal since I’m a chronic sneezer no matter what time of the year and I’m stubborn and won’t take allergy medicine).

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Yesterday, life as we know it came to a screeching halt. I am, of course, referring to The Great Facebook Breakdown of 2019 (as it will henceforth be known — tell everyone.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• When I was 18, I went to Paris with my literature teacher and a few other girls from school.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• I decided my morning devotion time needed a little freshening up. To refresh my routine meant I had to swap out something.
