Sometimes all we can see is the obstacle in front of us. But, "what if" we instead saw the obstacle as an opportunity.

Be blessed, my sister. For prayer requests, episode ideas, to schedule...

Today, we discuss this very subject and go straight to God's word to find our answers. For prayer requests, episode ideas, to schedul...

Stewarding our lives well so we can live out the calling God designed for us can be difficult when we feel like all our hard work, sacrifices and discomfort aren't giving us the results we were hoping for.
