Have You Ever Wondered Why Jesus Had to Die? {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}

Trust God When He Removes Something (or Someone) {The Atlanta Journal-Constitution}
It happened almost two decades ago, but I remember it as if it was yesterday. She was 13 months old and finally ready to take her first steps. I was on the couch, reading, while she played with books on the bottom shelf of the bookcase.
