speaking truths over our officers
Last week we talked about the importance of proclaiming truth over our homes. God's word is powerful! It has meaning. We also can proclaim truths over our officers.

diy toaster waffles
At first I titled this "homemade toaster waffles" but that seemed a little far fetched, as these clearly are made from a mix. HOWEVER. They are definitely "DIY" and save our blue family a sizable amount of money each month! One my officer's favorite breakfasts are Kodiak Cakes. They're delicious, full of protein, and help … Continue reading diy toaster waffles
