“My heart’s desire is to live the life that Jesus spoke about on the Sermon on the Mount. I know I cannot do it by myself. I know it is only done through the Holy Spirit and Christ alone. There are moments when I miss the mark. But thanks be to God that He picks me up and knock the dust from me. So that I can continue my journey with Him.”
