On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (NIV) It was a beautiful, crisp February morning when my new fiancé Steve and I traveled from our college …

It’s been hard. Really hard. These past five weeks have taken their toll. I’m amazed at how such a little thing turned into such a big deal. Ever been there? One word turned into a world of argument?
