My first line of defense-Him!
Before I speak a word, let me hear Your voice. And in the midst of pain, let me feel Your joy. -Lauren Daigle, “First” You are having one of those moments. Maybe one of those days.

Praise Him Anyway
I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. Psalm 34: 1 In my daily work, I often find myself moving from one crises to another. It is for this reason that I often have to forget or put aside my own crisis that may have occurred outside the school…

Weary, Worn, and In Need of Peace? Ask…
The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. Psalm 121:7 “Ms. January is base. Now you can’t get me!” Each week prior to our Wednesday night lesson at church, our children have a time of play. Their favorite game it seems week in and week out is a good, old-fashioned game…
