Happy 2023 friends! As we begin a new year, I wanted to share with you a new ministry opportunity God has given me here in South Florida. A few weeks ago, I began teaching a Bible study at a local women’s jail. While prison ministry was not something that was in my plans for this season, God made it very clear to me that I should say “yes” to this assignment.
I have to say that it has been such an honor to serve this group of women. In my ...

Christmas Greeting from Nicole
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
During this Christmas season, I have been thinking about all of the changes our family has experienced over the last year. As many of you know, we moved from Chicago to South Florida in June. We bought a new house, Rob started a new job, and the kids started attending a new school.

Life Is Difficult
I recently read those three words on a day where life did in fact seem difficult. They were written in a letter by a woman named Pat who has deep faith in God and has spent her life devoted to Him. On the morning I read that sentence, I felt a sense of relief that I was not the only woman who loves and follows the Lord, yet often feels the weight of life’s challenges.
Sometimes I think that the Christian life is supposed to be ...
