I am a Christian wife, mother, and Army veteran. I love to read, write and draw when I have the time. My current hobbies are knitting and crochet. This blog will be about my relationship with Christ, my hobbies and everything else that I like or find interesting.

This is so true. Always pray when you feel insecure and rest in the strength and peace of God’s grace. Stay strong in the truth that God is your confidence and wisdom.
