Seven Qualities of a Kindred Spirit Friendship
Friendships are truly a gift from God. Every once in a while, God brings along a friend who “gets” you, who totally understands you, and vice versa—a kindred spirit. If you have had a kindred spirit friend, you know what that looks like, and it’s hard to explain....
Fighting the Battle of Inadequacy
I’ve been feeling inadequate lately. It seems life is busier than ever, and there are more things to get done than time to do them. And I’m doubting if I can do the tasks given to me and do them well. Yep, I’m fighting the battle of inadequacy. Every day I find...
Happy New Year!
Where has 2018 gone? This year flew by, and 2019 will be here in just a few hours! I always like to take some time at the end of each year to journal about the previous year—the highlights as well as things that were tough. This year has been a good year but also...
