Lean Into The Now
No matter your hopes, no matter your dreams, learn to lean into the now. Though you may be more excited about what’s coming, discover how to create excitement in where you currently are. This can be a constant challenge, a constant opportunity to practice faith. Being content and enjoying where God currently has you doesn’t […]
Carpe Diem

Victory in the Lord
When we keep our focus on God and give Him our best, we have victory in the Lord. We follow His lead, ask for His direction, and consider His character. Human Victory We have elections coming up in a matter of days and victory is very much on my mind. I pray for the candidates, […]
Exciting Days Ahead
