Posted on July 30, 2022 by For Glory Sake!

“Complements”

Posted on June 24, 2022 by For Glory Sake!

Complement: something that fills up, completes, making better or perfect.  I wake up early, you stay up late. I’m whimsical, you’re practical. You love to cook, I enjoy cleaning. You enjoy time inside, I love being outside. I attack lists, you procrastinate. … Continue reading →

Posted on December 28, 2021 by For Glory Sake!

Interruptions, delays, break-downs, redos… these are few of my least favorite things! Yet for some reason, God finds them useful in challenging and maturing me. Ugh. He knows the disruption causes a halt and a choice: pray first or try … Continue reading →
