Have you ever dug in your heels for no apparent reason? Doggedly determined not to do the thing you purposed to do; you stand down. That’s been me for the last few days. Like a sulking child I almost hear myself say,

Change Who?
Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 15, 2020Early in my faith journey I attended a Prayer Seminar. I remember thinking, “Can’t imagine this will take long. Seriously, how many different ways are there to pray?” Not long into the seminar I was humbled to realize

Ridiculously Committed
Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 6, 2020“Set a goal SO BIG that you can’t achieve until you grow into the person who can.” – Unknown
