2:226 – You Are Valuable #faithbites #faithjourney valuable I’ve had a few events lately where I have felt in certain settings that I am not valuable.

2:218 – You Matter! You Energy! #faithbites #faithjourney energy You Matter! Let me say that again: YOU MATTER. No matter who you are, what you have done, where you are from, YOU MATTER.

2:195 – Life If Like The Oregon Trail #faithbites #faithjourney trail (This #faithbites idea brought to you by Cecilia Roberts-Lieb) “You have died of Dysentery.” This simple sentence brings back memories of anyone who played the Oregon Trail computer game in the late 80s/ early 90s. The plot of the game is simple, get from Missouri to Oregon alive. The […]
2:189 – Quiet Can Be Wonderful #faithbites #faithjourney quiet Quiet is probally not a word most people would use to describe me. I’m loud. I’m obnoxious and love people. As I get older, I feel the need for quiet time. There is so much noise and activity that it makes my anxiety go nuts, leads to irritability, and makes me […]
