Aint No Mountain High Enough
However, as I read my daily devotional a sentence jumped from the page and put a very definite check in my spirit. Prepare for a steep climb. I am teaching you a difficult lesson but do not be afraid. I am with you.

June Editor’s Note
I wanted to open June with a quick note from me. I don’t check in enough, and take a backseat to editing instead.

The Race is On
