With these thoughts I’m inviting in feelings that don’t bring me peace… …anxiety. knots in
I love quotes so it’s hard to chose, just one. However, this one speaks volumes to me. I was at a conference where Liz was speaking and when she said this, I immediately wrote it down. We can put on the armor of Christ and some how…some way…we still find a way to sin.
