Spiritual Growth

I don’t love everything about myself.  I can easily become discouraged when I fail at something.   I don’t want to explore a new friendship because I might get hurt.  If I start something new I may not be able to finish strong.  If I write the book, it won’t be publishable.  If I try […]

“The reason you survived all hell breaking loose in your life is because  the greatest days are ahead of you.”  – Christine Caine   We all have a story.  Our stories come with hopes and dreams God engraved in our hearts from the time we were little girls.  If we have lived for any length
