What does worshiping God look like in our daily life? How can we worship the Lord with our life? Because we often limit it to church services. We went to worship this morning. Join us Sunday for worship. Or it becomes about music intended to lead us into God’s presence. These are both good, good things. Gathering with the family of God for corporate worship is biblical and powerful. And anointed music that speaks directly to our hearts, carrying us before God’s Continue Reading
Never Underestimate Prayer {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}

But this baby embodied the fullness of the Godhead. Power Continue Reading
Loving Jesus {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
Featured image courtesy of Adobe Creative. I love Jesus. Love. A small and seemingly simple word. But it holds more power than we realize. I’m not an expert on the subject of love. Instead, I held misconceptions about love as a child and young woman. And hang-ups about love formed from emotionally expensive experiences.
