I can't even explain in words quite clearly how amazing last night's small group was. Our prayers last night were so powerful. We met new people,  exchanged numbers,  shared testimonies,  and encouraged one another. We expressed to each other our struggles,  our challenges and desires for our children.  We talked about the word "No" and what that could mean to our children when we abuse the word. We also talked about our new topic,  "touch". How often are we touching our children with compassion, love, softly, with hands, a kiss or hug? When I asked myself this question,  I became upset with my truthful response to myself. I should be the one they get it from? I should be the one who comforts them, kisses and holds them. This will build in them the confidence,  assurance, strength,  and power they need along with the word of God to conquer all things. Our Bible story Mark 5:25-29 is powerful. By just her faith and the touch of his clothe she was cured. Our touch has this power. Let's exhibit this daily.  Mark 5:25‭-‬29 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mrk.5.25-29.KJV So proud of you all, and even myself for bravely and humbly coming together in honesty and a pure heart in this journey as parents.  #smallgroups #family #mommyhoodfun # blessed #braveandhumbleparenting #locatedindeland #familyhub #calvaryfl

Arianna did great in the finals! So proud of her and all the children involved who love to learn about the Word or God. Hearing all of them recite the word brings me so much joy. #kidsministry #mommyhoodfun #blessed #joy #calvaryfl #kidsthatlovejesus #kidsofcalvaryfl

All my life, I longed for the undivided affection & acceptance of a Father since I didn't grow up with one in my life. I was hurt by rejection, desperate to fill the voids in my life, and rebellious against everything & everyone. I even grew to the point where I resented the idea of a God, so my heart became stone cold & i believed in nothing. I couldn't even stand looking at myself in the mirror because I felt so unloved and lost. I was surrounded by church-folk (I went to a christian private school) & had a praying Grandmother that was constantly telling me I had a purpose & that there was a Man who loved me so much He took it to the cross, but i couldn't bring myself to believe it, since those in my life had so easily walked away. I figured if there really was a God, He'd walk away too. One day, I hit my rock bottom. It was either try this whole "talk to Jesus" thing or don't live at all. The moment I sat on my bedroom floor, Bible in hand, fumbling around with a clumsy prayer, and desperate for a turn-around in my life, Jesus came rushing to my side & surrounded me on all sides. His love saved my life. Things haven't always been perfect, but I knew that what I had felt was real. It was tangible. It was perfect love. It was satisfying, and filled EVERY void. There's nothing that I have ever felt like that before. So, that day as an 8th grader, I gave my heart completely and radically over to Jesus. I gave Him all of my hurt, and my questions. Jesus Christ changed me forever. A year later, I was called into full time ministry through a vision while leading worship at my youth group, and I've been pursuing the call ever since; no distractions! That was nearly 6 years ago, and His great love STILL chases me down today... all I can say is.... WHAT A LOVE!!!!! An extraordinary LOVE! Thank you Jesus! #whatalove #calvaryfl #whatalovemovement (at Calvary Christian Center)

God moved in a real & tangible way tonight at @craveyouthchurch ...
