There’s More To Life Than Being Single

Above All, Live Your Truth

Prayer Is A Priority
I think sometimes we over complicate prayer. Almost as if it’s an hour long monologue from our mouths to God’s ears. Perhaps subconsciously we believe it’s so complex that we have to carve out a huge portion of the day just to do it. Only, we don’t have the time. And so it almost becomes cumbersome, rather than joyous, and more of an option, than a priority…
