Are You There, God? (Part 1)

This post is for anyone struggling with questions like, “If God is good and in control, then why do horrible things happen to the people who love Him and serve Him?” I was recently asked, in a round about way, to give the testimony about how my relationship with God affected/stood up against the loss [...]

The Pitfalls of Surprise Etsy Packages
