I have been praying for each participant this week, that God will bless your desire to grow closer to Him through prayer. Today begins the Lenten season.

Whitney Houston and my witness
Written on February 20, 2012 by MELISSA, MULTI-TASKING MAMA in being thankful, Bible, blessings, character, confession, faith
If I made a soundtrack of my life many of the songs would be sung by Whitney Houston. When I heard about her death I was saddened by the seeming waste of talent and the brevity of her life. Then a picture started circling Facebook and I “liked’ it. It was basically saying that Whitney…

Love is…
Love is… watching your husband love on a baby, having opened his heart and life to the unexpected and embracing it for all it is worth. Love is… a teenager playing with a little cousin, making them laugh and admitting they had a good time, too. Love is… opening your heart and trusting God to…
