Do you ever have days, weeks, months or even a year where things just don't go according to plan? Yeah, that about sums up my 2016. To be honest, I wanted to give up plenty of times this past year. 2016 was a doozy. My work slowed, we had hospitalizations, scary situations; the list could go on and on.

Free Bible Study Printable For Adults and Kids
It's so important for me to spend time in God's word.
