“I’m Holding on Tight to You”

 

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

-Hebrews 13:8

 

Do you have a bear or stuffie that you sleep with every night? Chances are, that stuffie brings you a lot of comfort, doesn’t he? No matter what is going on in life, or whatever fear you may have, you know that your beloved stuffed turtle or unicorn or favorite fuzzy blanket is right there with you through all the hard things.

Doors Thrown Open

She feels that she alone is responsible for keeping her personal world safe, and that she will do—by remaining in isolation from all people.

All of this, Elsa admits, is motivated by Keep Reading
