I recently finished reading Keep Your Love On by Danny Silk. It’s an amazing book if you haven’t read it yet! In the last part of the book, he used the phrase “learn to love” and it has stuck with me this week! There are so many areas in my life where I need to … Continue reading Enlarge My Heart

Created For Relationship
Summer is right around the corner! Summer can be the perfect season to rest, relax, and refresh… Ministries often take a break during the summer months, leaving us with extra time on our hands.

He is omnipresent … Continue reading God Doesn’t Miss A Thing

I also love Pinterest. I go through seasons of pinning like crazy, followed by seasons of wishing that I could actually … Continue reading Homemade Valentines
Am I Convinced?
I received a timely email a couple weeks ago from FaithGateway (Devotionals Daily). In it was an excerpt from Lysa TerKeurst's Made to Crave devotional. She talked about doing things because you're loved, not doing things to get love. It was a total perspective shift for me, one that I'm still wrestling through.
