Sharing some songs that ministered to me in 2022. Check out my playlist on Amazon Music.
Reflection Friday: I’m taking you back…
How we begin our journey is no indication of how we will end it. How we leave a place, people or situation doesn’t mean we will return the same way – stuck in our hurts, frustrations, disappointments or soaring on triumphs and memories of greatness.
