Dear friends, this week I’d like to invite you to read my story featured on the Joyful Life Blog. It’s about losing track of time with our best friend, Jesus.
As an almost-40-year-old, I hate to admit that I am still scared of the dark. As a child, every night my sister and I huddled together in my twin bed to protect ourselves from roaming roaches. I recall pulling the covers tightly around my neck so no creepy crawly could find its way inside my sheets.
