We just finished up our second online Bible study this week. Thanks to the ladies who were able to participate in the study over the Being Transparent book. It was a wonderful growing time and experience with you and it’s hard to believe seven weeks went by that quickly. Most of…
Expectations
Good Friday morning to you today! This has been a long week for me and I’m so grateful for a God of second chances. I’m ever so humbled that the God I serve desires a relationship with me. The small group I’m in is currently doing a Bible study, Jonah,…
Think about your best friend, you know, your BFF! This is the person you love spending time with at any point. You are able to talk for hours and yet you are able to sit in the silence comfortably. Each of you knows, for the most part, what the other…
