It is official. It has been declared a pandemic. Those words kept ringing in my ears over and over as I watched news reports from various stations. The World Health Organization had declared Covid-19 an official pandemic on March 11, 2020.

Pack Light: Another Perspective
As a child, I had a lot of responsibility on me that I probably should not have had. I had to be responsible and bear the burden of adult issues.

Pack Light
During this pandemic, I have become emotionally exhausted. The unending stories of injustice, police brutality, ineffective government, and the lack of empathy, have been overwhelming.

It reminded me of Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Initially, this can apply to when we accept the Lord into our lives but I wantContinue reading “Call…Don’t Fall!”

Thanks Catina for showing me what it truly means to have defiant hope and an “Even If” testimony.
