Do your lips ever start to move in prayer, only for you to hesitate because you feel like you can't articulate it all? I feel that way so much of the time! Thankfully, Romans 8:26-27 reminds us of a promising truth: In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

DIY 3-D Paper Snowflakes
One of my favorite things about winter is the fact that fresh, bright, white decor is "in" all season long! That, and there are some great holiday-related decorations that you can keep up throughout the whole winter! 3-D paper snowflakes are one of these great, versatile decorations. I've hung them in my various classrooms most years I've taught; the snowflakes add just an extra touch of wonder and fun winter decor to a classroom, without being way too flashy. I love these 3-D … [Read more...]
