Last year I wrote a guest post for my friend Christin Ditchfield's blog about a new Christmas activity my family and I started participating in called The Prayer Stocking. In it I shared "What would happen if we used our stockings to collect the prayer needs of others and spent the days leading up to Christmas praying over the requests — even supplying some tangible prayer needs ...
Break the Entitlement Mindset
I am passionate about going after all God has for you and I. Jeremiah 29:11 declares God’s good plan for each of us. We serve the God of abundance and He is a great gift giver.
