CRUMBS
Crumbs by Heather McGillivrary In times of plenty it’s hard to imagine that crumbs could be anything but waste, to be wiped away with the trash. A good meal is taken for granted in times of plenty. Sometimes, when my heart is filled up with plenty–plenty of activities; plenty of dreams; plenty of goals to achieve–I give God… Continue reading CRUMBS
GIFT – Five Minute Fridays

PRAYING GOD’S PROMISES
Praying God’s Promises by Jan Cox One of the exercises I did before heading on my mission trip to Poland this summer was to read and write out God’s promises. From a list of over 80 Scriptures I looked up and copied each one. It turned out to be a powerful experience. As I wrote… Continue reading PRAYING GOD’S PROMISES
