Connecting women to Jesus, God's Word, and each other.
I remember as child we would have to play relay races in PE. The coaches would line us up and then pick team captains. The captains would then take turns picking their teams from the line up of all the other students. With each pick I could feel my heartbeat louder and louder. Would I…
Over the Christmas break, I sat around the table talking with my family and the dangerous question proposed by my niece was “if you went to high school with me now, would we be friends?” This led to a funny yet interesting conversation of our perceptions of each other, which included the style of clothes we…
Oh how I have missed you all! Thank you so much for your support and love as we kicked off James and CHOICES this fall. I loved every minute of my time with you and I continue to pray over each of you. My prayer this season for you and for me was to not…
