12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians... Continue Reading →

It's worth it to mention that you don't have to be a biological father to be a "father" to someone. Everyone can be an extension of Jesus to someone else. I am blessed to have had a very present father in my life, but this is a great reminder that not many of us have... Continue Reading →
