Is Your Heart Hard or Soft?

Have you ever thought about whether you have a soft of a hard heart? What kind of heart do you have? Our heart is basically the whole essence of who we are, you know? Over and over in the Bible the phrase “hard hearts,” or “hardened hearts” is used. Have you noticed, or ever thought about it? For example…. ~In Exodus, it says Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go. ~ In Ezekiel chapter three, God actually says the people have a hard head and a stubborn heart. ~Also in Ezekiel, God promises to remove […]

Step 1 of the Moving Process: Declutter, Reorganize, & Clean

Help!!! We are moving again!!!!!! Okay, I’m only sort of kidding. We really ARE moving. Oh, and also I am about as stressed as I sound there. Ha! And yeah, we do always need help, so I guess I’m not kidding at all…. We are five or six months out from our big move.

It is a different state though, so I get […]

Do You Have Reading Goals This Year?

I have several regular goals, but the only one that I think is any fun is my reading goal: 52 Books for 52 Weeks. I’m actually enjoying doing this one! I had everyone give me books for Christmas, and I am just having the best time. Why had I never thought of setting a goal that’s actually fun before?? And because this is a goal to do something I ACTUALLY enjoy, I’m […]
