That feeling of ants in your head, and you need God to stop the noise
My mum often had a saying when things got to her ‘It feels like ants are in my head’. What things? Life’s unwelcome challenges, – Bad news. – We just aren’t coping emotionally. – Relationships have turned on their head. – Sickness and an array of other things. It doesn’t matter if we live in…
