My upper elementary kids are ready to start a Bible study of their own. We had the chance to review Weave Your Word in Me — Part 1 from Kid Niche Christian Books and have found a solid introduction to reading and studying God’s word for themselves. A Guided Study Creates Consistency I have…
Summer is sporadic, chaotic and off-balance with ten kids at home and little desire to keep them occupied. Every Morning is different and the lack of routine gets me agitated. How do I keep balanced, even when Summer is kicking the tar out of me? I carve out quite time every day. The trick is how…
The Holy Spirit helps us by keeping us from wearing an identity that does not belong to us because He knows exactly who God created us to be.
I have a great group of ladies in my life. I recommend every woman get a small group of spiritually powerful women to encourage and inspire them. We are all so different. We have different goals and life backdrops going on but when we all show up at the same time on a given Friday morning…
