Throughout Scripture, we see examples of how the Almighty speaks to His people and even unbelievers in dreams.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to know how much time I spend every day on social media. My mom tells me all the time that I need to limit myself, and I gotta say… she’s right.
Our lives are spinning out of control, most of us running at an unsustainable pace. And we’re minimizing the one thing that is the only thing able to hold our lives together.
So, in choosing a title for my debut book, I wanted to find to do more than “describe” the book. I wanted to name it.
I would ask that you do not speak. Instead, I invite you to listen and trust that I am safe amongst the others.

His divine light captured at sunrise from the Smoky Mountain National Park. I am delighted to share the gift of nature through the lens of my camera and the eyes He has given me to see His wonders. May you feel inspired to share this image and post with others.
