I'm reading Beth Moore's So Long Insecurity, right now and last week came to a section where she has literally written out a prayerful meditation asking for release from insecurity. Her words penned inspired across the page. I was reading, praying, and claiming the words when I came to six little...
There is a story about an elephant. A baby elephant that is tied around it's leg to a stake. A curious, baby elephant that tugs and pulls at the stake in the ground, only to be confronted with pain at the cord cutting into the...
