But the enemy is doing his best to steal, kill, and destroy the Lord’s plans and creation. I discussed this on today’s “Tea Time with Sue.

I wrote the following article in January 2020. I have published Peaceful Moments since writing this and learned so very much in the process! I am so very grateful for the desert experience. It grew me, refined me, and made me into a stronger more confident woman! Enjoy the article.
