The Bible contains over 400 verses about time, so perhaps we can safely assume that time management is important to God. In fact, it is a spiritual discipline that helps determine the rate of growth and maturity of our faith. This day and age it

Fear not … I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… (Isaiah 43:1-2) There are times when our struggles cry so loudly that we fail to hear the voice of Peace.

This summer my teenager guest blogged and hosted a summer book club review.

If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient!

“God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) Making decisions based on fear is never helpful. For that matter making decisions in anger is not good either. Try hard not to be reactionary with people, family or friends. Use truth as your information and peace will flow over all your decisions.

Working this business is always a series of decisions on what to do to make things better....better for me, better for my clients, better for my family and always an effort to be the best I can be. I have made some changes here and there this year, some of them I liked, some of them I did not and some I really like but just can't do it all :) Earlier

Finding cute items for boys to wear can be a challenge, so when I run across adorable items like these I just have to share. I am in love with these little shirts and onesies! how cute would your little man look in these. They have many styles to choose from, and lots of other cute outfits for boys as well. (of course they have the girls covered, but that is just a given). Go give the couture
