What’s important is not necessarily what we keep. Sometimes, what we hold onto prevents us from being free-free to be who we were made to be and free to do what we are called to do- rely on God. As a child I understood little. I mostly sensed things. I’m told we moved seven times … Continue reading Carry No Purse
