Encouragement for Christian Women, and a Few Laughs Along the way
Today’s blog post comes from Acts 20 and 21. While doing my studies this morning about the way Paul and others behaved themselves in the early Church, I noticed many wonderful qualities.

If you are anything like me, you can be quick to get stirred up about some things. When someone rubs us the wrong way, or perhaps we want to jump to a friend’s defense in a matter. We have to be SO careful about being easily “stirred up” in these kinds of matters. James 1:19 …

I awoke this morning with this song ringing in my heart. I want to share it’s lyrics and tell me if you can relate. It doesn’t matter what may come against us. It doesn’t matter who will turn away from us. It doesn’t matter what trial or heartache you are facing, My sister, there is …
