It's an odd season of life here right now. I feel like I'm in the great in-between of it all. There's new growth happening with the Online Bible Studies blossoming into groups for both men and women, morning and evening. Taking UnapologeticallyHis from very feminine (and very pink because I like pink) to a new … Continue reading New Year, Fresh Filling
