I want to glow with the Holy Spirit, to have every cell in my body awake from slumber and shout “YES LORD!” I want to feel the heaviness of Your sacrifice on the Cross and own the heartbreak for souls untouched by Your Word. Use me Lord to sow seeds that grow and yield for…
How do I know I am on the right track? Have you ever asked this question? Strip yourself, not literally please it is a Monday morning that could get awkward in a hot second. Figuratively strip yourself of all the striving thoughts, the stress of the day, the chores, and the “to do” list and…
