Today I give thanks for my family, friends, my blessings and God’s presence in my life. I may not always be perfect in my prayer life, but I know that God loves me unconditionally and I am still the apple of his eye (Psalm 17:8). My desire is to take this verse to heart and …
These past weeks I have definitely gone off my spiritual track. I got so caught up with my business and finding clients that I just got busy and didn’t take my devotional time. I know I have written about this subject quite a lot, but I know this happens to a lot of people. They …
