Share your plans with the Lord
Proverbs 16 3 Share your plans with the Lord, and you will succeed I went to bed last night with a mix bag of emotions. I’m deeply struggling with some news I heard from a friend, questioning some personal decisions, and aching for days that have gone by–children leaving, growing, maturing. I want to control time…
Preparing our hearts
On the way to church, we decided to prepare our hearts for worship. On 104.7–gospel station, the song I’m still standing was playing.

Do you think our love creates miracles?
When I got home from work my body was aching from exhaustion on so many levels. My daughter and I snuggled in the bed and watched The Notebook–the movie.
