Our family loves a reason to celebrate, so Father’s Day is just another great day to share our love and appreciation for all the fathers in our life! A lot of men don’t care all that much about this day and would be happy with a simple card or just a hug. But, as mentioned before, we love to celebrate so we do our best to shower our dads with love! 

This is a powerful message for anyone who feels that their all is small. After sharing how God used David’s ordinary to do the extraordinary and beat Goliath, Kristen Wallace becomes vulnerable and shares her personal story of how God used her “small” ordinary to do the “big” extraordinary in her life. Her testimony of God’s faithfulness is beautiful and encouraging for every person who has ever felt defeated or lost in their ordinary. Take the time to listen to her heartfelt, raw, and passionate message.

Americans have quarantine fatigue and since most states have relaxed their quarantine rules, people have started to venture back out into the outside world. Pools, beaches, stores, restaurants, and many other places have started welcoming people back little by little for the summer season. Many of us are stuck in limbo between being in quarantine and resuming a somewhat normal life. We will see what the days ahead hold, but I know that quarantine fatigue is real and it looks different for everyone…

Lord, I honestly do not know where to begin. I am not equipped to pray an elaborate prayer on this nation’s suffering, but I know you listen and hear when we call. This nation is grieving, anxious, fearful, and full of rage. We are losing lives daily to a pandemic, enduring unemployment across the nation, and being awakened to the reality of racism that still exists today. Our hearts hurt. So much anger, rage, fear, and hurt are coming from all sides. This nation needs you…

Happy World Redhead Day to my precious red headed blue eyed baby boy! According to the interwebs, less than 2% of the world's population has red hair; moreover, having red hair and blue eyes is the rarest combination possible. The odds of someone having both of those traits is around 0.17%…
