I grew up in church, but I didn’t understand that God is real and in our day-to-day. I spent my days and weeks sitting in a pew, but I didn’t have a concept of Him working in my life. To me, he was just up in heaven.. watching and waiting. As a teenager I wasContinue reading “He Wastes Nothing”

Immoveable Joy
If the World Didn’t Give It, The World Can’t Take It Away It was recently my birthday, and to say that I was honored by those that love me is an understatement.

You Are a Good Mom
A burdened mother was carrying the weight of the world in her heart as she tried to enjoy time away, at House of Bethel. Days before she had learned of her daughter’s abuse that had taken place years before. The mother was wearing a smile to cover her troubled thoughts. A prayer team member onlyContinue reading “You Are a Good Mom”
