We Are Okay

New pull from the TBR jar! We Are Okay has been on my shelf for a hot minute. I’ve been putting this one off because I haven’t felt ready for an emotional read for some time but today is the day to actually read it!

Happy reading!

Is it okay to ask God why?

I had read a devotion about asking why and I decided to share my view about it. I hope this helps anyone who may be questioning about certain things in their lives. Remember that Jesus loves us all, and He knows what we need and what we don't. Keep your faith and trust in Him always. 🩷
