You guys, we've done it. We've been reading through the Bible for six months now. We're halfway through. How does that make you feel? I have to admit: I'm proud of myself for sticking with it.

Hey, mamas. How are you holding up with the quarantine? I hope you're feeling fed emotionally and spiritually right now. Not normally a morning person, I've started a new habit of waking up early (for me, haha, my husband would roll his eyes) and going out to our back porch to do my daily readings [...]
