Freedom and the Single Mom: By Jennifer Maggio

Our lives are saturated with busyness, interactions, relationships, and social media. However, this doesn’t guarantee that we will never be lonely.

God doesn’t disqualify anyone because of their mental health diagnosis. He doesn’t become disappointed or befuddled or angry because we’re battling depression or anxiety.

Why Art Thou Cast Down?

Often we condemn ourselves for pain in our past or present. We feel guilty for not getting over it more quickly. We assume someone else would have handled it better.
