If it's time to make a decision and everyone around you is telling you it's not such a great idea, but all you do if fire back all the reasons why it is, it usually means it's a terrible idea. If it's time to make a decision and you know deep in your heart that [...]
Some of my latest musings: We are here to serve others with our very best amalgamation of our skills, talents, experience, knowledge, Holy Spirit fruit, and personality. This means we have to leave the house from time to time and actually talk to people in person. Imagine if husbands tagged their wives on every post [...]
