Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing.

When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city. -Jonah, Navigating a Life Interrupted, by...
Surrounded
During Brandon’s CD Release Party last night, I enjoyed: the worship — especially how Brandon ended our evening together. Powerful! laughter with friends of almost twenty years. The husband braved many a day on the b-ball courts mentoring Brandon as a teen. sitting next to my cousin, who’s always been more like a sister, and watching her hubby post B’s pics on...
