I read a story recently of a renowned pastor who took eight months off to do some self-reflection, to look for areas of sin in his life. I don’t know about you, but it wouldn’t take me eight months. 🙂 I think self-reflection is a good thing. Not to beat yourself up, but taking an…
Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year! As a little girl, I would help to decorate the Christmas tree and wrap as many packages as my mom would let me. For some reason, she would never let me wrap my own. Lol! I loved shaking the packages and trying to guess what…
Last week’s blog post was about faith. If you missed that one please read it first by going here. That post is the foundation for today’s topic which is HOPE. I think that the two go hand-in-hand and that you need a huge amount of faith to stand firm in your hope. Hebrews 11:1 “Now…
