This world is not easy. People are not always kind. Is it any wonder that we can be unkind to ourselves? Jesus tells us to forgive but does he also mean we must let go of self loathing?

It’s time to come home to Jesus
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, God sees you. He understands you because he made you and he's saying it's time to come home.

We received our new mattress yesterday and eagerly put it on our bed. The expectation: soft and cozy. The reality: very firm and different from what we were used to. Don't you dislike when you buy something and it's not what you expected? Or how about when you go to buy something and it's plain … Continue reading Shopping, when is enough enough?
