Happy summer, cupcakes!!! It’s going by so fast, but I am enjoying it 💙 we’ve finally got the pool ready to use, we have plans to go on a trip next week, and I splurged by getting a whole stack of library books out last time I went. I probably won’t...

If the devil can’t get you because you’re bad, he’ll get you because you’re good. How’s that for a startling opening? Allow me to explain. I had reached a high point in my spiritual life. I’d had a breakthrough or two; I was reading my Bible daily, w...

I almost never do devotionals anymore (they get written into my books, I think, lol) but today I was mind-blown by a passage I’ve read five quintillion times and had to share. I don’t know about you, but I’ve struggled with prayer my whole life. It’s...
