“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 I’m not sure how it started, but I remember how it ended – In complete exhaustion with a tear-filled cry for help. My quest to live a holy, God-centered, productive life left me self-righteous, self-centered, and striving for recognition and appreciation….
