Not sure about you, but by this time in the year, my New Year’s resolutions are already beginning to blur. My clear resolve to not text while driving still remains intact, but I admit that I am already back into the old habit of taking a cell phone call or two (or three) during my [...]

Guest blogger, Judith Grazette, has a gift of writing. More importantly, she has THE GIFT of Jesus treasured in her own heart! So, get cozy, read these words, and let God encourage your heart during this season of good gifts.     As a child, I remember Christmas was always full of excitement. Growing up [...]

A powerfully bold brushstroke within the Heart of Womanhood ministry is HOW God has designed us to learn FROM each other. To learn WITH each other.

When undertaking a renovation project, businesses display posters that communicate the motivation behind their mess. The dream behind their dust. Here are just a few of the construction signs that have [...]
