My life gets a little busy. Having 22 children, 11 grandchildren, an international Young Living business, prayer group of close to 900, and my MP Warrior brand is a lot to manage. There are times when I can get sucked into a mode of busyness and begin to travel at Mach V. When this happens […]
Who would have thought one instruction could be so tough to live out? We might do okay living out this passage normally until it’s time for church on Sunday morning and you have a few kids that need to be ready to go. Mysteriously, one of the shoes and half of the clothing you set […]
