    Marie- I love this post. Thank you for sharing.

    I think my life verse would be- 2 Corinthians 5:7 “We live by faith and not by sight.” (CEB)

    What is your favorite verse in times of heartache? I definitely stand on Romans 8:28 so that would be one of many…

    Btw- I LOVE all the pics you make with quotes! 🙂
