Other couples being chosen, low page views, no comments, an "unlike" on Facebook, or no "shares" on a post I worked particularly hard on. These are a few of my least favorite things. The Enemy knows this too. He weasels his way into my thoughts and tells me I'm not good enough, I'm lacking, and unloved. I'm ashamed at how often I listen. I am tempted to believe him. But what did Christ do when He ... Read More about Tempted | Trusting God’s Plan For Our Adoption
