Life is made up of millions of moments. How we see them and what we believe about them are up to us. In the midst of so much uncertainty now is a good time to reflect on how we see life and how we allow each moment to impact us for better or for worse. The word reminds us “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3May you be encouraged and find joy in life's moments.

Staying positive during life's adversities can be a challenge but with faith, you can overcome. Recently dealing with a month-long miscarriage was one of the scariest times in my life, but God.
