We should live life expecting the best, yet cautiously prepared for the worst. Devastation comes as a result of no preparation at all for the worst. You can only control you. We pray for everything else. Sometimes bad things happen and there is no satisfying answer as to why. All you can do is your […]
In today’s society, to be guarded is not only the norm, but it’s safer that way. You never know who you can trust or who could potentially be the one that could harm you. This perspective will certainly keep you protected, but it will also keep the good that could come your way at a […]
