Most of my Sunday posts are inspired by something that I have seen or experienced during my week. I try to pay close attention and see if the Lord is leading me in a direction. This week was no different and I found myself thinking about something that I read earlier in the week. When…
The other day I got my morning email from Proverbs 31 Ministries. It was one that struck a chord with me and I wanted to talk about this subject today. The message was on the house of mirrors and how we view ourselves. On yesterday’s blog post, I showed you 2 pictures of myself. One…
