Yesterday I shared my life verse from Zephaniah 3:17 and how I can picture myself dancing with Jesus. This image has not always been easy, but as I get older, it comes more often. Over the weekend I was part of a team leading a retreat and a friend of mine shared some thoughts on using DANCE as this acronym.

Life Verse

Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 12

Remember

Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 7

Remember  means to call to mind, to think of again. A few months ago I wrote in my journal in response to a blog by Bonnie Gray. The question was, "What is Jesus whispering you to remember?"
