Helping Women Find Their Passion, Purpose and Power in Christ
As my birthday approached last month, my husband asked what I wanted as a gift. Honestly, I couldn’t think of anything I truly needed. Sure, there are always fun or unique things that could be added to our home, but when I paused to really think about it, a wave of gratitude washed over me. […]
Can you remember the best gift you’ve ever received? One of my most memorable gifts was the year I was 6 years old. There was a particular Barbie doll I really wanted. I asked Santa for it, I talked about it all the time, and waited in anticipation of Christmas morning when I would look […]

The Lord is come.Let earth receive her King!Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing.Joy to the world! the Savior reigns, let men their songs employ.While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy.No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground.He […]
