Author: P31 Misfit

I consider myself a misfit of sorts, unique in my own way. I love to write and so I decided to start this blog. I will share from my heart, using the adventures that I’ve had in my life, in hopes to encourage others. I love The Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind! I don’t get why He doesn’t give up on me, but He will never let me down and will always be here for me. I hope anyone who reads my blog realizes that no matter how hard life can get, God will carry you through it if you just depend on Him!
