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…

finish what you start.
Have you ever started a project, perhaps home remodel, outdoor remodels, or a project in general that you can not seem to get finished. You started cleaning that garage out and all you seemed to really do is move stuff around, but you can not seem to get it finished?…
