Have you gotten to a place of disenchantment? You’re not impressed by anything? You’re frustrated with the seemingly mundane? There are certain times in life when you are easily enchanted.

Ahh the question everyone gets the first time they see every person they know who's gotten married. It's similar to when you return from Spring Break in college and everyone has to ask "how was your spring break?" To quickly summarize how married life has been I'd say it's been amazing being with my favorite…

Do you ever just feel like you’ve done all you can? You’ve prayed to God, you’ve sought after Him, you’ve believed and not doubted and yet the answer doesn’t come. You get to this point in life when you know God cares, you know He sees you but you’ve come to the conclusion that He’s…
