Over the years, I’ve worked with quite a few teacher clients. It always makes me nervous, because I’m afraid of sending misspellings or grammatical errors in texts, emails, or even worse…CONTRACTS! 😱 It was no different with Mrs. Couey, who taught for 34 years!

Proverbs 3:5-6 was under “In Times of Decision” so I read…”Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do lean
