Lessons from the Trail: Trusting God’s Path

Lessons from the Trail: Trusting God’s Path

Sometimes, life’s lessons unfold in the most unexpected places. For me, it was on a quiet trail, with different shoes and a different path. Usually, I lace up my trusty hiking boots and tackle steep mountainsides. But that day, I wore my barefoot shoes—remnants from a fitness challenge—and opted for the "easy" side of the mountain.

“Starting Over, But Not From Scratch”

Have you ever felt defeated because you’re starting over… again? Maybe it’s the third time, the tenth, or the twentieth. You’ve put in the work before, only to face setbacks or interruptions.

What a powerful truth!
