I’m Breaking Up with My Past: 11 Verses for Living Free

February 18, 2017 by Debbie 12 Comments

Thoughts hounded. Memories flashed. Things from the past held on too tightly. Mistakes often linger…in our minds…in our hearts.

At the start of a new school year: A huge thank you to all teachers, for your heart, devotion, and love for our children.

5 Dangers of Drifting and How to Stop

July 30, 2016 by Debbie 8 Comments

Sometimes it happens before we realize what’s occurred. It’s unintentional. We don’t plan it. Lulled by the slow pull away, swayed by other things we start deeming more important, we wake up one day and realize things seem different.
