Living off the top is so much more fun than living off the bottom. And I’m not even talking about financially. I’m talking about an abundance mentality like John 10:10 speaks of that Jesus came to give us. I’m talking about an abundance way of thinking when it comes to forgiveness, time, energy, health, and […]

My then, fifteen year old may have been more right than I knew and I can hardly believe I’m admitting it. Few things would frustrate me more than when he would say, “It’s not that deep, Mom!” and he said it about everything, especially when he just didn’t wanta hear “another sermon”. I was working […]

34 Jesus called the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and [a]take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of […]

HAPPY Monday! Remember Duck Dynasty? Willie, Phil, and Uncle Si had us crackin’ up and quoting “happy, happy, happy” like it was our job. I still smile thinking about Spring Break in Orange Beach, Alabama, when we binge-watched it in a beach condo and laughed till we cried. Life felt light, silly, and full of […]

HAPPY Monday! Let me just answer this question right off the bat, sis… YES. You are enough.Not because of what you’ve done.Not because you “finally” hit that goal.Not because someone else finally noticed you.You are enough because Jesus is enough — and He lives in you.
