Throwback Thursday: WEAKNESS (Lent 2016)
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41 I love the above verse. I feel like it really encompasses the idea of Lent.

Confession
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” -James 5:16 I love the above scripture because there is real power in it. For some of you, you can’t imagine confessing your sins to another person. Questions probablyContinue reading “Confession”
The Paths We Take
Do you ever have those moments where something you are doing brings back a specific memory? It happened to me this morning while taking the garbage down to the curb, of all things. You never know when God is going to speak to you, right? As I walked towards the garbage can, I noticed thereContinue reading “The Paths We Take”
