Happy Friday friends! This verse is one of my favorites in all of Scripture. As an independent firstborn, I see very few limitations and am usually confident in my ability to make things happen, if I just try hard enough. Cease striving does not come naturally to me. I am guessing some of you struggle […]
Read more "Striving"I cannot think about Mother’s Day without thinking of my mother. I am convinced that I won the jackpot when it comes to mom’s.

Read more "He Is Risen!"Blessed Good Friday friends! I feel a heaviness in my heart today. I realize that because of my sin, Jesus lived a perfect life on my behalf and then died a brutal death.
