Are You Worn Out Yet?
Good morning and welcome to Making Space Monday! As women we are powerful, multi-taskers, bright and filled with His Spirit; we are the daughters of the King. But we also have a weakness –a propensity to overbook and do too much. So why on this beautiful Monday morning at the beginning of the new school […]
Living a Purpose Driven Life
So much has been written in recent years about living a purpose-filled life. Rick Warren wrote an excellent book on this subject. But the best book ever written on purpose is Paul’s letter written to the Christians in Rome. Renowned theologian, N.T. Wright calls it his masterpiece because it covers so many different topics […]

Time to Make Space for God
Friends, it is time to make space for God. Time to unplug ourselves and connect or reconnect with Him. I don’t know what you are going through today, but what I do know is that more and more people seem to be distracted, worn out and have no time for God. Today’s blog is a […]
