    Hi Brenda,
    Hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day! I’m sorry I just haven’t had time to participate much in the Compel group (I’m also behind on my lessons). The Foundation takes most of my time and then I try to squeeze my writing in when I can….wish I had more time to devote to it!!
    Miss you my friend,
    Blessings,
    Bev xo

      No worries, friend. Love having you stop in when you have time. ((Hug)) I was a few weeks behind in the lessons until last weekend when I was able to catch up. Hope all the foundation work is going well. — Will be stopping by soon for my little girl, haha. 🙂 xoxo

    Hope you had a sweet and special Valentine’s Day! I was reminded recently that Valentine’s Day was originally about friendship rather than romantic love. You are a sweet example of what a friend should be.

      I didn’t know Valentines Day was originally about friendship. I like that. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Donna. xoxo

Anyone else feel like April snuck in through the b Anyone else feel like April snuck in through the back door while we were still greeting January in the foyer?
.
Pretty sure I just said this about March exactly a day ago.
.
Slow down, Time! What’s your rush?!
.
Truth is, time doesn’t wait for us, but faithfully surrenders to the rhythmic path its Maker ordered it to trek.
.
Friend, are you feeling like all the plans you had great hopes for back in January got caught in the undercurrent of Time’s fast pace?
.
Guess what? It’s a fresh month, a fresh quarter, a fresh day full of new mercy & strength.
.
I haven’t incorporated exercise as much this year as I’d like, so I’m setting some new exercise goals for April!
.
What about you, friend? What new thing might you pick up, or pick back up, in April?
.
We’ve got this! Move over January, April has a seat at the Change Table, too!
.
Cheering you on, friend! On April 30th, what will we wish we had done this month? THAT, let’s get up & go do that! 💗🎉

How easy it is to forget that our source is not fr How easy it is to forget that our source is not from within ourselves, nor from our hustle.

True life & ministry & purpose is found only when we remain nestled in the Vine.
.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
.
What are you working so hard to do in your own strength today, friend?
.
Let’s lay our striving down, and reconnect to the Source of all we’ve ever really needed—Jesus.
