A little note from Sarah: Thanks for listening to a bit of my life and how God is so faithful! I would love to connect with you through IG @sanfordnsun or my website thesanfords.life for camper van info, about Codee and I, and photography.
My prayer for listeners:
I pray if you’re in a season of grieve that you feel seen, loved, and God fills you with hope. I pray if you’re in a season of loneliness that God would provide abundance of community. I pray if you’re craving connection to God that you are able to step outdoors for some fresh air and a nice warm hug from the sun.
Hebrews 11:1 ”Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
All in His Faithful name, Amen
