So me and my homegirls are in a Bible Study by Angela Thomas called Stronger and it has been so good. I'm drawn to Angela's style of teaching and her homework and I think it's because of who she is mindful of when writing. She always writes/speaks with the woman in mind who doesn't know Jesus, those who are new to the faith and those who have been in faith for a long time. ... Read More »

I love the ladies in my study and last night after hearing Jennifer's session on being thankful FOR and not just IN her blindness we were all in awe. And we ... Read More »
