Oh, my friends, there will be times when praying is flat out hard to do. For lots of different reasons. Sometimes it's a time issue. Other times it's the position of our hearts - weary hearts can neglect to pray or refuse to pray. But press on. Tell God you don't feel like praying and tell him where your heart hurts. Don't wait for things to be perfect to begin praying. Pray ... Read More »

Don’t Waste your Wait

Rachel Hollis is dishing out some stinkin’ thinking and I’m not apologizing for saying so.
It's rare that I do this but I'm being super direct in today's post about a best-selling author that droves of Christian women can't get enough of. I too jumped on the bandwagon when Rachel Hollis's book Girl, Wash Your Face first came out. It was everywhere and I kept hearing how amazing it was. First I went on Rachel's Instagram and fell in love with her awesome pictures. ... Read More »
