If you’re not sure where this day come from or how it suddenly appeared out of no where and you have no idea what it is, you are not alone! FIFTEEN YEARS ago, Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation invented the day to show love to her friends. Ever since then, Galentine’s Day, February 13th,…

I am the Bread of Life
It’s Christmas today! And I really hope you have the best day! I can remember being a kid and longing for all the gifts under the tree! I couldn’t wait to see what gifts Santa brought me! When Christmas morning came, my sister and I would quickly wake up our parents and head to the…

You ever have those passages that stick out to you so much while you’re reading Scripture? Well, Psalm 86:11-13 was that for me! When I read this the first time, I remember being so moved! I kept thinking there’s just so much to unpack in these three verses. How can I just read this once…

Through Him–A Year in Review
Last year when the Top Nine came out, it got me thinking about the whole year. I went back and reread what I wrote last year to refresh my memory and to kind of kick start the writing for this year. In 2017, I started with the importance of remembrance and how it’s a Biblical…

Plugged-In to Shine
I love having my Christmas tree up! There’s something about the Christmas tree with all the ornaments, garland, and lights that just make any place feel a little more like a home. It seems to warm the place up and make it more inviting. But when the lights aren’t plugged in, the tree sits there…
