PRAISE AND COFFEE

I look at my life and never could have imagined the journey that brought me to this place in my life. I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t love every twist and turn and re-route along the way.

They don’t tell you that you look nice on Sunday morning and then inform everyone in your Bible study that you dress like their Grandma. Nice people are nice. But then there are those others in life, there’s one in every office, family and small group. They are not nice. They hurt
