Saying goodbye to our past, the things that we loved, can be painful. Once we realize how we have drug our feet it becomes less of a struggle.

Stored Up Contentment
The green paper we grasp in our hands allows us to buy clothes for our closets (stockpiling what we often don't need), cars that we drive, and it slips gold rings on our fingers.

All of us that believe have the gift of hearing His voice through extraordinary means … Continue reading Following God’s Will – Not the Will of Man

What Do You Do For Yourself?
Recently, I was asked, "What are you going to do for yourself this weekend?" I was lost for words. I left the question alone for a few days, knowing that if I didn't think about it the answer would come. Thank you to Cassie Parks, of Loving Yourself University, Twitter @spiraluptoday.
