Waterfalls to Visit in Georgia

A round up of waterfalls to visit in Georgia and other favorite destinations with children. We picked our parks and waterfalls and planned day trips to be spread out over a week. We started this journey of exploration in stages, building our endurance on local trails and making small goals with our five children.

The Habit of Rest

Just rest, Mama. The Lord has been reminding me that rest is what I need. He’s been reminding me of the habit of rest. His habit of rest. He’s been telling me for several weeks.
