Order My Steps

Sometimes there are so many competing thoughts in my head, distractions outside and within my control and I lose my concentration and I want to hide. Did you know that you can't hide from God?

I'm up at all hours

Do It for Peace’s Sake! by Dr. A'ndrea Wilson

I met Dr. A'ndrea Wilson on Facebook. Have you ever met someone, even on social media and feel an instant connection.

There is a peace in doing, in knowing why you exist. It feels both serene and surreal, she explained it so well, here it is.

A headline in the news caught my attention this morning… Texas judge needs help, says beaten daughter. Judge Who Beat Daughter Not Remorseful… Judge William Adams Who Beat Daughter Says He Did Nothing… a long list of catchy one-liners popped up in my Google search.
