“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.”
John 1:14
What a beautiful time our family had remebering and celebrating the incarnation of Jesus – the Son of God who took on flesh and chose to dwell on earth. As the Christmas season draws to a close, and new year resolutions are made, let us purpose in our hearts to be women (and men) of His word – allowing it to take up residence within us.

Colossians 3:16a

Time.

Stilling our souls.
IT WILL BE WORTH IT!
We must be women (and men) of His Word. May His Word become like a fire in our bones that must explode out, blaze the trail and mark us forever.
“… His word is in my heart like a fire shut up in my bones…”
Jeremiah 20:9
