As promised, today I am sharing with you all the message that I shared with the girls last weekend at the "Girls Night Out" event. Of course, this will be more of a summary of the entire message. In fact, there will be two parts to this post, and I will post Part Two tomorrow. …
Knock Knock
During my morning Bible study/quiet time, I read and soaked on Revelation 3:20. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. ~ Revelation 3:20 Let me give you a little background on this …
New Year New Me

He Takes Us By The Hand
