My first Bible was a purple Precious Moments Bible. I loved it and I loved that my name was written on the inside. I grew up listening to Psalty sing praise songs and Adventures in Odyssey play on the radio on Saturday mornings. But I was an adult before I learned the true story of…

Why we need clean hearts
We have already established that I am not {in this current season of crazy life} able to maintain the pace of a post every.single.day for 31 straight days, no matter how passionate I am about the topic. There was a time {before God got a hold of my heart} that I would have posted every…

31 Days to a Clean Heart

It has been almost a year since we downsized from our 3400+ square foot home to 1400 square feet of cozy living space. I am fairly certain I hear God chuckle on nights like this: with girls and their babes gathered in to “hang out” and watch movies. I know my heart sings when I…
