Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Christ in the center For those who exalt they will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 Who do we praise? That is a loaded question. Often, our praise and focus are on what is at the center of our lives. It could be our jobs, our kids, family, […]

What if people that influenced us felt that way, what would our path look like then? I have told myself I need […]
Mon // Surrender :: Control
Title: The Driver seat Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; – Proverbs 3:5 I’m sure you can relate. Every time I get in the car I want to drive and have complete control. I feel having that control makes things safer for everyone, both in the […]
Tue // Fuel :: Word
Title: God shares For the word of God is alive and active.

That means […]
