What God has planned in your life has been uniquely designed for you. I say ‘has’ because the story has already been written; you’re currently living in your purpose.

Hopefully you’re not dealing with both at the same time because that would be a lot to endure.

As we push through the second half of 2018, here are some tools to hopefully help you alleviate some of your stress and anxiety.
