Seeing Double?
If you have been following along the January 2024 Scripture Writing Plan: His Mercies are New, you might think I made a mistake. Did we not just read this verse, yesterday? Sort of, but not really. When God speaks something more than once, I believe it is important to sit up…

holding on too tight.

the exchange.
