Welcome to Just Between Us
🌸 Where Stories and Faith Bring Us Together
“I cried when I began reading Just Between Us. I have been craving this kind of support for years. I work for a national service that reaches at-risk youth. At times, I consider giving up. There is very little support and encouragement from others. The battle can be so hard; I often wonder if it’s all worth the energy and it comes at the expense of those dear to me. Just Between Us is the answer to my prayer. Thank you so much for providing such a resource for women. I can’t wait for my next article.”
- Kellie, JBU reader
