What Are the Voices in Your Head Saying?
Day 284 of Photo Inspirations — What Are the Voices in Your Head Saying? We’ve all got them. Little, and sometime BIG voices, talking to us in our heads. They’re either saying “You’ve got this!

The Older Teach the Younger
Day 282 of Photo Inspirations — The Older Teach the Younger I’m sure we’ve all heard the scripture that references the older women teaching the younger women (Titus 2:3-5).

Looking Through My Father’s Eyes
Day 278 of Photo Inspirations — Looking Through My Father’s Eyes I took this photo from my airplane seat as I flew back from Seattle a couple of weeks ago.

I Am A Promise and I’m Something Special
Day 277 of Photo Inspirations — I Am A Promise & I’m Something Special #TBT When my children were little, we always had them singing little Gospel songs that had such great messages in them.
