43. Adorning One’s Body

Today we talk about pride, well the false sense of pride that is weaved into a number on the scale and the box society tries to fit us into.

41. The Practices Required to Turn off Hurry

As I read this book the Lord stirred in me that I wasn’t really all that good at time management.  I was good at not giving my time at all…. I can fit a lot into a day but do it gracefully, carefree, and peace-filled.  Floating on a cloud of grace and compassion and patience. 

The Love Resolution

Happy New Year! It’s a time of resolutions and the hope to make this year better than last year. Working in the fitness industry, I’d always see a rush of people joining the gym, to never be seen again after January 16th.  With only a couple of weeks worth of commitment, it would break my heart,

Fruit of the Spirit – Kindness

Kindness is easy when we feel like it, but when we are annoyed, frustrated, sad or angry – kindness seems like an undiscovered universe. When the bible talks about kindness, it’s not talking about being nice to our friends, because even evil is nice to those they love.  The kind of kindness that comes from
