Years ago I was part of a weekly Bible study for women. I got to help facilitate one of the small groups with a dear friend and mentor.

Making Space
Make room. Make space. Clean house. Get ready. Clean the inside of the cup. Prepare Him room. Prepare my heart. You’ve brought me out into a spacious place.

We met Jill and her husband at Liberty Church a couple years ago. Jill is marked by wisdom, generosity, and joy! I pray we can all … Continue reading Hustle is the Opposite of Heart
