They say the 7th year is the year of Jubilee. A year where debts are cancelled and everyone knows and breathes freedom. A season of celebration. It’s been 7 years since our son Noah passed away. God has already shown Jason and me how this year is going to be profound and special, though we […]

I have a new friend who is sassy. She’s also brilliant, sensitive, wise, and discerning, humble and modest, and a fantastic listener.
