Something that's helping me right now: this idea popped up to pray for a sister for 30 days without telling her. So this temptation time is something Im now using to pray for another's life and situation. It's such a beautiful escape.

I try to look at the way God forgives us and feel like God expects us to forgive in a similar way...maybe. I say maybe because God's divine love often goes a lot further than we can understand. I know that when I repent and turn from my sins, God washes them away. Although I must give an...

It is my choice and privilege to meditate on God's goodness and all the blessings He's given till tears of joy run down my face. He's the reason my marriage went right and I have a husband who loves me. He's given me a baby girl to carry in the womb who kicks and has a button nose. He's...
