Father’s Day I’ve been without my Dad now for 31 Father’s Days. Every year the heart saddens and misses him terribly. So how does one get through hard holidays when the purpose is to celebrate something you have lost? Gratitude My Dad went to see Jesus in 1992, my Stepfather in 2017, my Grandfather in…
What sin are you holding onto? What is that favorite thing you struggle to let go? What do you keep in an unworthy, elevated place that is dishonoring to God? If we are completely honest, we all have something and probably many things. Sin can be looked at as anything that prevents you from…

Five years! It feels like a blink of an eye, and I am thoroughly amazed that God has allowed me this honor to serve Him and women in this manner. This year has been almost eight years in the ministry and is our fifth anniversary of becoming a non-profit. Though the logos, events, and…
