When You Discover Your Place in This World Is to Change It

What if? It’s a question each of us has to ask ourselves. What if I’m here for more than what I’m doing? More than what I think? What if I’m here for a purpose beyond my wildest dreams? What if I’m missing the point of my existence? What if God wants to use me to affect change?

It gives lots of reasons why the cowboy life isn’t a good one and tells mamas to let them be “doctors and lawyers and such”. What I’ve always wanted to scream is mama, don’t let your babies grow up…and then reality hit me, and I realized that no matter what you do they are gonna grow up. So, instead of …

The Voice, The MOM Initiative & Titus 2

Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.” Titus 2:4-5 (NLT) Have you seen The Voice. It’s one of the number one shows in the country. Each season they begin the show with blind auditions.

“Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.” Proverbs 14:1 Recently I was cleaning my house because my sons and their families were coming over for Family Game Night. A friend asked me why I was cleaning my house when it was just family.
