What You Can’t Control

by

We often become overwhelmed by the sheer number of problems pressing on us, many of which lie beyond our ability to fix. But instead of being consumed by what you can’t control, choose to focus your energy on what you can.

Remembering the Words from the Cross

by

For those who grew up in the Church, we can become too familiar with the story of the cross if we fail to be moved by it any longer. Reflect on the last words Jesus said while on the cross to know His heart for us.

Small Steps for the Kingdom

Remembering Rebirthdays

Dream Big

Stop Making Excuses for Laziness
