I Need Him To Care And Be Honest. What Do I Do?

By Leslie Vernick | July 14, 2021 |

Morning friends, Psalm 37:34 says, “Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along his path.” I love that. Do the next right thing and hope in God, not what God will do. So often we pin our hope on the outcome of what God will do, but he never promises us a perfect outcome. In fact, he tells us…

Is This A Good Friendship?

By Leslie Vernick | March 4, 2020 |

Morning friends, I was hiking yesterday with a friend and we were talking about one of my favorite subjects, the importance of #doing your own work.
