If I was prone to squeal with joy I’d be squealing! CLOUT: Discover and Unleash Your God-Given Influence RELEASES TODAY!

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. Congrats to Rebecca Hamlin for winning a copy of Restless. ————————————————————– A relaxed, quiet dinner between friends. We just met but it didn’t discount the fact that “friends” was a safe and appropriate word for how we felt about one another after leaving the table that night. We shared our stories, […]
Torn. Terrified. Confident. The markings of a leap of faith. Torn between two equally great opportunities. Terrified of the unknown. Confident in God’s direction. This has been my life for the last few months. It’s been awhile since God has asked me to leap like this. I’d grown comfortable with my calling. Sure, I was […]
