But Did I Share the Gospel?
We’re continuing our Women Living Well series this week on the topic of your walk with the King. “Your influence as a mother is powerful, don’t waste it. Little eyes are watching you.” ~ Courtney Joseph, Women Living Well Ohhhh, Friends. Isn’t it in the smallest things that we find the greatest “ah haa moments” ? Just yesterday, I asked my son to clean his room. As most ten year olds do, he bantered back and forth with me, “Maaaaaa, it’s summmmmer”, and “Maaaa, I cleaned my room yesterday!” Finally, when I mentioned the upcoming consequence, he begrudgingly ran upstairs, shut the door, and from my knowledge did what he was supposed…

My Story of Love, Infidelity, and God’s Incomparable Grace
I’m Darlene Schacht, and this is our story of God’s incomparable grace… Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ~ Genesis 2:24, KJV It was my husband’s birthday I still had some wrapping to do when I heard the hum of the garage door open and close. I glanced at the clock. It was only three thirty; the kids weren’t even home from school yet. Michael wasn’t due home for at least another hour, and if you know my husband at all, you’ll understand why this took me by surprise. Michael’s never been late for work, he doesn’t…
