Have you been told you’re too much?
What I want to suggest is that whatever your adjective of "too much" is, this is the gift God has placed inside you for the benefit of the world. The world needs your "too much", but it is a gift that needs to be led by the Holy Spirit.

If it Hadn’t Been for the Lord
I recently read Psalm 124 and was drawn to the words and the style of this particular Psalm. It reminded me of a season in my life and the Lord had walked with me every step.

2020 Vision
As I prayed and looked back on the last few months and considered some things I feel the Lord has been bring me to, I realized what my word was going to be. I was actually reading a book I got for my birthday and the word felt like it jumped off the page. I knew then that it was my word.
