Cultivate
John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Earlier this month, I had the privilege of serving as a chaperone at our high school summer camp and spending time with many of the same 11th grade girls I have the opportunity to teach small group to throughout the year.

Fragrance of Christ
I recently took a walk through one of my favorite gardens, a beautiful place I call “The Secret Garden.” Tucked away and known by very few, this garden has a peaceful, untouched beauty that always brings joy to my heart. I love spending time there - wandering along its paths, exploring every corner, and taking in the beauty it offers.
