My Journey
“If the Lord delights in a man’s way, He makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” Psalm 37:23-24
Sometimes I feel like a little girl who is still learning to walk. Our family has a picture of my first steps toward my dad, who waited with his arms wide open and an excited smile. In this way, my heavenly Father has led me each step on the journey He prepared for me. Here are some highlights:
