Peace Family, do you need freedom from jealousy and envy? I was recently inspired by my friend LaShunda Mitchell of Grind4God Ministries.

What God Owes Us
Peace Family, what does God owe us? A good friend was recently talking with me about the Bible’s teachings regarding a specific sin.

The Best of Us
Peace Family, does God deserve the best of us? The immediate answer is, “Yes, of course,” but we often don’t live that way. The temptation is to think to ourselves, “Haven’t I given enough of my time, talents, and resources to God? Hasn’t he asked enough of us? Don’t I have the right to keep […]
Unmet Expectations
Hi Peace Family, Jami here and I was recently reading about how the root of many of our resentments and unhappiness stems from unmet expectations. “Expectations are just premeditated resentment.” Boy…does that hit home!

Feeling Isolated
Peace family, do you ever feel isolated? Are you feeling alone right now? I think we all feel isolated sometimes. We start to wonder why we bother sharing our hearts or troubles because no one seems to care. We start to feel like we don’t matter to anyone. We grow tired and bitter about super […]
Healing Is Worth The Pain
Peace family, I’ve been fostering some teacup chihuahuas, and it has been a great reminder that working towards healing is worth it, even though it’s hard.
