Trust Is Letting Go

ByKatherine Wisniewski

I am unfortunately prone to a pattern of giving my problems to God, then immediately picking them back up and refusing to let them go. Over the years I have e learned that God doesn’t always answer my prayers when and how I ask, I’ve also seen how He always shows up and acts on my behalf.

You are beautiful from the inside out

You are Beautiful

ByKatherine Wisniewski

Do you think you are beautiful? I don’t know about you, but this question actually makes me cringe. Because, no, I definitely do not think I am beautiful. And I am not alone. A Dove survey found only 2% of women aged 18-64 considered themselves beautiful and 96% wouldn’t use the word “beautiful” when describing themselves.
