small prayers + Big God
I’ve been praying more lately. I’m not saying that because I think I’m awesome for doing it, but because I am slowly realizing an obvious truth: when we pray into God’s will, he does it.

Back on the Road After Covid: Guest Post
Guest post by Hannah, writer at Tiny Town Stories. This August, my family embarked on a two-week-long road trip across the country. We’ve done long road trips before, but a trip involving seven people (two of which are toddlers), one minivan, and a million markers is definitely an interesting experience. The plan was to leaveContinue reading “Back on the Road After Covid: Guest Post”
