Jesus wants to cultivate us and grow us into the purpose He’s planted inRead More →

I’m sure you’ve been wondering what happened! I know I mentioned my shoulder surgery. Then I was sick for about a week. Then life happened and I ran out of time to get this post up when it was expected. So sorry to all my readers who were following this journey to rid ourselves of the sugar habit.
