Know That I Am God While You’re Being Still

by Yvonne Chase

We’re used to being busy. Society says if you’re busy you’re productive. If you’re not busy, then you’re not productive. You’re not doing enough.

by Yvonne Chase

Someone asked me a question the other day; a personal question about my life that for me came out of nowhere because there’s no real communication between me and him.
