Prayer works.You know it works. I know it works.God definitely knows it works.So why don't we spend more time in prayer or make a higher priority of it?I think that sometimes we don't know how to pray or where to begin our prayers. We wonder what it is exactly that we are supposed to talk to God about.And after every devotional on the whole internet tells us how uber-important our prayer life is, its easy to feel like we're failing at it. Like we aren't praying often enough, deeply enough, …
The Perfect Hug
Written by: BuifeHave you ever been there? Yes, there. Where your world ceases to move...in any direction. It's like you're stuck in this time machine with everything moving so fast, and yet, at the same, does seem allstagnant.Those times you want to scream.

It was with quick action, good doctors, supportive …
Are you a Proverbs 31 woman?
Written by Stephanie K.Here lately, I've been thinking "Am I a Proverbs 31 woman?" I know many Christian women who have such a strong faith, and can speak so eloquently, that you know the Lord is speaking through them. They just have that natural ability.

A Need for Healing
Written by Makeda We see it all the time.If we don't see it, we feel it.The need for healing.There are times when we know that healing will come.Then there are times when we wonder how long it will take for the healing to arrive.Over the past couple of weeks, I have dealt with death.
