STRESS MANAGEMENT
Worry is something we take! So how much worry should I invest in tomorrow? None? Not even for Food or Clothing? Does God want me to run around naked and starving? No! That is precisely why it is a waste of energy to worry about these things–my heavenly father knows that I need these. Besides, […]
