🎉Coming soon!🎉 Some changes are coming next 🎉Coming soon!🎉 Some changes are coming next month including a redesign of my website, 💻 and a brand new monthly newsletter free to all who subscribe. 📝 The newsletter will include spiritual growth content such as a devotion, ✝️ short Bible study, 📖 or teaching video from me. 📺There will also be creative ideas for you to show love to family, friends, and even strangers. 💕 I’ll be including a “What’s in my book basket” recommended list of what I am currently reading. 📚 And there will also be something I am constantly asked for in my direct messages: recipes! 🍞🍒🥧🥗🥑 And to top it all off, my newest book on breaking free from the prison of people pleasing, releases August 3. (Check out my link in the profile to see how you can get a bunch of freebies when you pre-order) Newsletter sign-up will happen the first week of August so be sure to turn on notifications so you don’t miss the announcement.

Our phones can be wonderful tools, allowing us to Our phones can be wonderful tools, allowing us to get life done, ask for prayer from others, or find a great recipe for tonight's dinner. ⠀ ⠀ They can even be a fun toy, allowing us to relax and play a game or watch an amusing video gone viral. ⠀ ⠀ However, beware of allowing your phone to become a tangent, diverting you from what you should be doing or preventing you from paying attention to the human beings standing before you. And vow you will not allow others to control you through the many ways they can put "to do" items on your list by contacting you digitally, without any input from you. ⠀ ⠀ Ask yourself, "Right now, is my phone a tool, a toy, or a tangent?" #PeoplePleaser #WhenMakingOthersHappyIsMakingYouMiserable

*Family* For some, it includes only those to whom *Family* For some, it includes only those to whom they are biologically related. Others form a family through a new marriage, gaining step-siblings and such. Still others become family when our hearts are tethered to theirs—no blood line or legality needed. I have one biological brother, two stepbrothers, and another “brother” who is a man who worked at my father’s restaurant and was instrumental in guiding him back to the Lord after decades of wandering. I have a “sorta son” who has lived with us on and off since he was a senior in high school. There was even a time we took in a guy our youngest son met at school who was about to become homeless because he’d stood up to a family member who was sexually abusing a younger step-sibling. Whatever the landscape of your relationships looks like, somehow forge a family. All of the souls to whom you are connected are on purpose people: God will use them to stretch and grow your faith, giving you ample opportunities to reflect his love as you interact with them. Family is what you make it. Make yours beautiful.🤎🤍🖤
