A brother in Christ shared this with me and has given me permission to share with you. I think this is some POWERFUL stuff right here, sisters and brothers! Imagine an old wagon wheel with all the spokes going out–the spokes represent all the HUGE piles of problems we’ve inadvertently created by not seeing that […]
I know – I obviously should have been an actress! Ha! (It’s hard to find the right pics for free online sometimes.) Some inspiration for you who are hurting and seem not to be receiving answers for your prayers from God. There are some prerequisites to answered prayer: 1. A genuine relationship […]
My questions for the men: 1. In what ways do romantic books/songs/movies portray men emotionally that do not accurately represent how men think or feel in your opinion? 2.

I am so thankful to the reader who allowed me to share her comments from “If Only I Had THIS, I Would Be Happy!” Wow! Just Wow! God has been working on this exact thing in my heart so much lately. I am fighting to be content. Yes, fighting, because my nature is to desire […]

I would like to invite the gentlemen to comment respectfully on this post, if you would like to share your perspective on this particular issue. I think it is important for our sisters in Christ to realize exactly what they are communicating to men when they do and say certain things. From a reader: On […]
