Every morning I open my eyes to start the day, I am faced with two options: go right to the bathroom to start my morning routine or spend time with God. I would like to say that every day I choose the latter, however, sometimes sleepiness or laziness gets the best of me and I…
At one time, I was a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic and serial dater. I enjoyed all the romantic comedies, reading romance novels and going on dates that always ended abruptly. My hopeful eyes glimmered with the anticipation of a new husband prospect. But the heaviness in my heart told another story. This burden lifted when I…
