I winced every single time I saw the folder in my hard drive named “The Best Summer Yet-2019.” Starting summer and full of hope, I put that name on the folder thinking it would contain some pretty amazing pictures. After my plans for the summer did not all come through, I looked at the folder […]

You are loved, pursued, chosen, and victorious no matter what you have done. You are loved, pursued, chosen, and victorious no matter where you have been.

Its time to flush Satan’s lies down the toilets in our lives. Our enemy sought to pollute my thoughts today. He tried to pervert pure thoughts. He wanted me to believe that God’s love was a joke. He wanted me to stop seeking the Kingdom of God first. I got home to find out my […]

“It’s time.” These are the words that have kept appearing in my life the past few months. I’ve been seeking to figure out the meaning of them. “What is it time for, Lord?” has been a common question I have asked. The past few months of this year (how is it already almost April?!) have […]
