The Debt
Forgotten, forsaken, alone. Nearing his final breath, Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Feeling utterly abandoned by His friends, His family, and now Father God, our Sweet Savior cried out with His last breath and gave up His Spirit.

When Love Changes Your World…
When I became a mom, somehow I expected that it would change everything but in the same way, somehow, I expected that I would always be the same.
"Love is more than just a word. Love is more than just an action. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Without love we are nothing. Left hungry for love we become the most self destructive beings imaginable. When we believe we are not capable of being loved we become our own worst enemy and many other people’s as well. In believing we are unlovable, we allow our worst fears to be a self-fulfilling truth. The pain of believing we are not lovable is irreparable, save for one hope: that the sacrifice of our savior proved we were worth loving. Every last one of us." ~Anne Day
