Above the flowers, chocolates, and all the beautiful messages that will be sent to women around the world, if there is anything I would tell a woman today, it is this: Plan like you are alone, walk like you are alone, be conscious of yourself, and never let anyone play on your emotions. Be slow to speak, act in silence, and pray for God’s covering. As we all celebrate Women's Day in our various countries and ways, I pray that the blessings that come with Women's Day be released unto every woman. May God guide you, keep you, protect you, and see you through. For everyone going through a hard time in any area of life, remember to put yourself first.

Today, I am going to feed the ducks with bread at Springburn Park. I always enjoy the morning sunshine—the way it hits my skin is a beauti...

Look, God created the heavens and the earth, and there is no doubt about it!

The fields stretched endlessly, shifting from golden brown to lush green, creating a calming, humbling effect as we drove through the heart of nature. When we reached the massive rocks, I could almost feel them breathing—these things are alive, watching over us. It was an overwhelming s...
