How Much IN Christ ARE You Really? A Marriage Moment
If you are married and are considering divorce, I encourage you to think differently about what’s happening. I had plenty of times that I wanted to leave my husband.

Man. Y’all tired of reading yet? I have never been one to sit around and tell folks what the Lord SAID; the Lord don’t talk to me like Hw be talking to some of y’all. 🤷🏾♀️ I’m still working on the obedience part, still working on being slow to speak, still working on not by…
