“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” -2 Corinthians 12:9 “Here, this will work. It’s good enough,” I say to my four-year-old as I toss her a broken yellow crayon for letter Y show and tell at preschool that day. I sweep […]
“If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2 Do you ever feel like you are being held captive by the mundane of daily life? Maybe you are stuck […]
A year ago our women’s ministry hosted a ladies retreat with Susie Larson as our speaker. After one of Susie’s sessions, she asked us this question, “What are you hanging on to that Jesus is asking for?” Music played in the background and we were instructed to pray and ask Jesus what it is He […]
