Free to Fly
I’m free to fly… Stride, Walk, Move, even Dance through wide open spaces as I look for and notice Your Truth and Wisdom (Psalm 119:45). No one can put down what God sets free, including me. Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy when I listen to the Enemy and hold myself back. Free to fly

I am on a quest to get healthier one step at a time. I desire to make small improvements continually. I want to walk strong daily in every way–physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. All of these areas are very important and I want to make progress in each of them.

How to Spring Clean Your Way to Righteousness
The sunshine and fresh air of springtime create a newness everywhere. Plants with fresh buds and flowers. Gardens sprouting. It’s the perfect time to make our homes sparkling clean. I yearn for cleanliness. Curtains and windows get washed. Attics and closets get cleaned out. It is the perfect time to make things appear new again….
Love and Care for the One and Only You
When I began reading Love and Care for the One and Only You by Michelle Medlock Adams, I knew that it would be an excellent tool to help me to get in shape–both physically & spiritually.
