This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine alone. In June of 2020, our family started attending a new church. Yes, right at the beginning of the pandemic and lockdowns. Our new church committed to three important things: children's ministry, meaningful worship, and prayer. This small church of 25 attendees has grown over the last two years, greatly. I truly believe it has everything to do with prayer and focused outreach to our community. Our mission statement is: Love God. Love … [Read more...]
Create Your Garden of Eden (Personal Development from Genesis)
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine alone. I was given a copy of this book for my review. This month I was sent a great little book that offers strategic planning and personal development straight from the book of Genesis. Create Your Garden of Eden by Elizabeth Mannette is a short book that is packed with great ways to change your world. And change it in as little as 7 days!

Who are You Following? An Important Social Media Book and Journal
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine alone. You know I am on social media. I use it to stay connected with friends but I also use it to promote this blog and social media channels. It's been useful for me. But, did you know, I haven't allowed my 14-year-old to have any social media accounts. I've read the reports, I know what social media is doing to our mental health, especially our children. It's such a difficult, multi-layered decision for every family. But, for now, we are … [Read more...]
Go See the Redeeming Love Movie!
Many thanks to Universal for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opin-ions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.

So when I first heard that they were making one of her books into a movie? I knew that I'd want to see it. When I was offered an early screening of the Redeeming Love movie I jumped at the chance to watch … [Read more...]
Renovating Your Mind: 365 Devotions for Everyday Life
This is a sponsored post with Frontgate Media. All opinions are mine alone. I enjoy a well-written devotional to end the day with. I love a devotional that speaks to my heart, feels like a conversation with a friend and convicts me to be more like Jesus. We can be more like Jesus when we daily "renew our mind" with time spent in God's word and prayer. This devotional is so helpful. I've read a few devotions and I have enjoyed what I have read. This one begins with January 1st, so it really … [Read more...]
Indescribable Kids: The Wonder of Creation Devotional Book
Many thanks to HarperCollins Christian Publishing for providing this product/product information for review. Opinions are 100% my own. I did receive the product in exchange for this review and post.

There are 100 more devotions about God and science in this book. If you haven't had the chance to … [Read more...]

Many thanks to Thomas Nelson for providing this product/product information for review. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.

We've started a new one this week that looks like a sure winner. It's nice to have a great devotional book that is easy to read and short with topics that not only … [Read more...]
