I went up for every altar call, called every 1-800 prayer line, I fasted, I prayed.  I needed a breakthrough.  It’s funny how committed I can be when I’m desperately in need of God to act on my behalf.  And then there are times when life is good and I can barely make it to

Earlier this week, I spent two entire days on the playground with my children. Like a 9-5 job, we were out there all. day. long.
