I Challenge You…
TO BE CREATIVE AND ARTSY~~ Last Christmas I really wanted to give my husband something homemade.

(For a better understand of each, click on the words). I am a woman in process. I know I'll never get each attribute of the Holy Spirit perfectly aligned and mastered. I… Continue reading The Fruits of the Spirit
What Makes a Woman a Woman?
Our view of ourselves, as women, is a complicated and at times messy one. We delve into chaos when we begin to search our inner selves. But I don’t believe that is the way God made it to be. I think we women make things more complicated for ourselves. I know I sure do. I… Continue reading What Makes a Woman a Woman?
