When broken boys bend their will and humble themselves to God: Broken boys become bold boys. Broken boys become builders of bright futures. Broken boys become beasts who are forces to be reckoned with. Broken boys become might men of valor and instead of feeling beaten down, they conquer hills that used to intimidate them. […]

I told you last week I was going to do a Cowgirl Up blog series leading into Happy Girl 25 and then today has slipped by and I failed to Cowgirl Up until now soooooo… I decided to share with you what to do when you don’t Cowgirl Up and you wish you would have […]

Cowgirl Up!

Today’s blog is in honor of Dodie Osteen. What a true woman of God she was. I only had the privilege of meeting her but have many friends who knew her well. She is remembered for her bold prayers, her love for people, her personal phone calls to pray with people who needed a miracle, […]

If not, I feel ya! And you may be saying, “Wait?!” I thought this was supposed to encourage me and so how is THIS encouraging? Let it encourage you that we ALL have “those days”. You know, “those days”… when stuff is flying at you from every single angle? when they have no idea what […]
