When I am scared, hurt, lonely, or just plain tired, my husband’s arms are my favorite place to be. When he wraps his strong, comforting arms around me, I feel safe and protected. He doesn’t even have to speak, I know his heart is telling me that he has me. This world is a scary…
Temptation is something we face often, it is also something Jesus faced. Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the…
I am a natural pursuer of people. So when I entered a season where I didn’t have much energy or time to pursue, it caused me to bring my relationships to the Lord and evaluate them. It has opened up a search about friendship. What does love look like in those relationships? I looked up…
