A Five Minute Friday Challenge
The prompt this week is: GUIDE, GO!
My husband, Jonathan, and I took dancing lessons as a present to ourselves for our 20th wedding anniversary (8 years ago) and as a favor to a friend. Little did we know that we would love dancing so much! It is a great way to get some exercise and meet new friends. However, the underlying . . .

Miracles in the Mess
I love the title of chapter 13 "Uninvited" by Lysa TerKeurst. Often God hides miracles in the midst of the mess and chaos of the circumstances in our lives.
She shares several stories from the Gospels of how before and after the each miracle, the disciples and others often "laughed" at Jesus, didn't believe Him, or didn't . . .
