Planning
Faith & Trust, Obedience & Surrender
I’m a planner. I like to map out the course of my days and check things off my list. This time of year many of us make plans. We set goals, resolutions, intentions, dreams…whatever you like to call them. Plans and goals are good. They keep us focused, they keep us on track. So when…
I Used To Believe In Jesus

Jesus Changes Everything
Healing from Shame & Rejection, Joy & Freedom, Misc, Obedience & Surrender
Jesus changes everything. It sounds cliche, but there is such truth in these words. In 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 Paul talks about the old covenant and the new covenant.
