What God has been doing in my life these past few years

Back in March of 2020 when Covid came on the scene, I told my husband that he would need to pivot his business (he was in marketing at that time). As I looked at the landscape of the culture seeing people hoard toilet paper of all things, clearly fear was at the forefront of society.…
