“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:25‬ ‭AMP‬‬ Remember being a little girl on the playground at school plucking petals from flowers in hopes of finding out if he loved you or not? I remember little crushes in the 3rd and 4th grade and wondering […]

Ahh, the great love chapter of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13. If you picked this chapter apart, verse by verse, and replaced the word, “love,” with ____ (your name), would it still hold true? “Love endures with patience and serenity,” Love endures.  Love doesn’t quit.  Love has patience with others who are not having patience […]

Oh […]

This past week I attended Leading and Loving It. What a great week in Las Vegas with women in ministry from around the world.  There were so many new and old friends there that were super fun to see and hang out with.  Two of the break out sessions I went to talked about soul […]

A friend who is doing #whole30 told me recently that they say to stay away from “foods with no brakes”. Such great advise. Advise I am attempting to follow. So far so good. This single shift in thought about food is really healthy and helping me already. It helps to take away the need to […]
