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. Events from yesterday shift into our present day, never allowing us the freedom to fully move forward. Living under the weight of the “should have’s” is a heavy burden to carry.

February 14, 2017 by Debbie 5 Comments

We have a choice every day, to choose the voices we listen to. And most days, it takes a determined effort to choose wisely. So this is a month we hear a lot about love, and because of that, you can be assured the enemy will do all he can to twist the real meaning and try to steal your joy. He despises everything about real love, because real love starts with God.
