BE the EYE of the Storm

Uncategorized

I remember my 7th grade science class enough to know about the “eye” of the storm — that still, calm, quiet place in the middle of a storm. As I read the post I made 7 years ago during one of the greatest storms of our lives, I realized that God kept us in the…
