Life isn’t always sunshine and skittles. Christian women get that. We don’t just go to church because religion is cool. We know we need Jesus. Read my posts about christian living here.
When my twins were little finding some one-on-one time with Jesus was… well, difficult to say the least. Quiet time? That was almost laughable. I had four children ages five and under, so I learned to work with what I had. But I definitely…
Earlier this month I was a guest on the SoulKation podcast with Logan Rena. We discussed balancing work while being mother of four, how to get out there as an introvert to overcome that nervousness and managing blogs with the rest of life. You can…
It was the first week of January and I was at the gym crushin’ the Christian life. I mean, I was totally rocking this new year. I had hit my fit bit goal every single day so far. Got my Bible reading in. And…
It’s candid and it’s Christian. It’s Candidly Christian TV. In John 16:33 Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Th...…
