growing in Christ

Have you ever gotten to the point in your life where you just don’t want to be a Godly wife (or a woman, mom, friend, etc.?) Maybe you’re just done.  You are ready to run and you want to turn in your wifey pinkslip because you’re too tired, hurt, and broken to continue. Perhaps you’re running…

When I read these verses, I immediately think of you… I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work…

Since I wrote my recent post on, How to Have the Best Christmas Ever, it kinda struck a chord for many women.  I’m guessing my sisters’ in Christ felt it was okay to share their hurts and fears. And let me just say for the record…IT IS OKAY TO SHARE YOUR HEARTACHE AND PAIN!   That’s what…
