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.

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.
