As we enter into the Lenten Season, this is an invitation to spend more time simply being with God rather than trying to do for God. *Also* I will be taking a break to BE with God during this L...

138. Homeschooling - Remember Your "WHY"
September 05, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBWith the new school year beginning, I think it is essential that we sit back and remember to rest in our "why".

With this truth set before our eyes, we will have the freedom of heart to release the grasp of checklists, accomplishments, and to-dos, and instead, adventure...

We wrap up our conversation by diving deep into a trustful surrender into the arms of the perfect parent. We often grasp on tight to the walls of life in fear of all that lies ahead and all that has come before. We walk in the dark unsure of which way to go. How can we move forward when we can't even see our own feet in front of us? This is where the treasure of total abandonment comes in... "Come, my so...

I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don’t have love, I am nothing. I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned. But if I don’t have love, none of these things will help me." - 1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 Who are we living o...
