This Is For Everyone Who Feels Like Giving Up

2015-10-28

The feeling of giving up has a wide array of accompanying emotions. Depression, anger, confusion, frustration, sadness, bitterness, exhaustion… Have you been there? Are you in that place of giving up right now? We all face different types of circumstances that test us and challenge us. Being confronted with the thought of giving up as emotions swirl around your heart is never an easy thing to experience or navigate. Personally, I remember feeling like I didn’t know what else to do or where to go. I felt like giving up was the only option. Until a friend one day encouraged me to hang on.

Wives After God: 12 Week Small Group Study

There were many times in the beginning of our marriage where hardships caused my heart

This Could Change Your Marriage: War Room Movie Review

2015-09-10

War Room. You need to see this movie. This movie opens with a voice talking about the wars we face, while the visual being a husband and wife arguing. That opening scene ended with the words: Victories don’t come by accident.” That is when I pulled out my phone to take a few notes. I came to the movies for enjoyment, but I knew from that opening scene that it would be an impactful movie – one that I would need to share about. We all desire victories in life, especially in our marriage. However, are we willing to spend intentional time praying and trusting God for these victories? The plot follows the relationship between a husband and wife, along with their daughter, as well
