Photo by mali maeder from Pexels Notting Hill; holds the title of “Most-Watched,” out of my all-time favourite movies. The film came out in 1999, the year of my searching. After a swathe of breakups and trauma and sadness and giving up on love, and friendships in my own life, we connected, me and the…
Proverbs 3:3-4
Photo by Designecologist from Pexels The same week my Dad died, I had been asked to speak for a small women’s gathering at our church. I was part of a team of four speakers. We were each given two verses out of Proverbs 3, and 8 minutes to speak. My verses were: Proverbs 3:3-4. The…
