And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 It's that time of year when everyone is cleaning up from Christmas and getting ready to start fresh in the new year.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “ This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21 This verse will undoubtedly be one of the easiest ones to memorize during this challenge, but it is one you can pull out during times of uncertainty.

The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18Andy and I did not have the fairy tale dating experience.

After graduating from college and both of us working out of town for a period of time, we both landed back home in Memphis and after dating for six months got engaged. Our e... Read More

"Show me your Glory, show me Your glory, yeah! I long to look on the face of the One that I love Long to stay in your presence, it's where I belong" - Jesus Culture We often sing this song during worship at my church on Sunday mornings. It is one of those songs that everyone loves to sing because when most of us imagine God's glory and His presence we imagine a place of peace, happiness, and love. We sing, and lift our hands, and smile, and in the comfort of the sanctuary, we invite the Lor... Read More
