On July 4th I read my 50th book of 2018! Being completely on summer vacation for nearly a month now has confirmed that I would be a phenomenal stay at home dog mom. I love sitting around all day! Since July 4th I have read TEN books (and watched a lot of Netflix). Now I'm … Continue reading Halfway There
Something to Celebrate
I have always wanted to fall in love. As a teenager and college student I prayed that I would only fall in love once and that my one love story would be with my husband, the man I would spend the rest of my life with. Now, it’s a given and I don’t need to … Continue reading Something to Celebrate

Having just read about David’s own son trying to steal … Continue reading There is soundness in my flesh
Intentional Love
