Happy New Year! Two calendar years have met and passed the baton as we pause to reflect on what worked from the year before and what didn’t. We also set goals for healthier routines that will enable us to be better versions of ourselves. Of course, it’s all a little arbitrary because nothing really changed,…
It’s hard to believe another year has come and passed. This year has been full of hard work, perseverance, waiting, thanksgiving, and most of all, excitement. We have been in operation since 2014, but this year marks our fifth anniversary of becoming an official non-profit with 501c3 status – which means you get a tax…

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” Romans 8:28 (NIV) This verse is familiar to many. It gives us hope in difficult times; it is a comfort when we don’t know what is coming next. But to fully grasp its message, we need to…
At some point in our lives, we will all find ourselves in a painful circumstance. Sometimes it’s one of our own makings and sometimes it’s caused by the actions of someone else. Here we are face to face with something we never asked for or planned. What do we do? Thankfully, as a follower of…
It’s 3 am. I should be sound asleep, but here I am writing. I’ve been praying for a word to share since Tecia asked me to write this post, but I’ve had nothing. Nada. Zilch. Leave it to the Lord to wait till I am asleep to speak to me. What’s unique about 3 am?…
