I had a wonderful Valentine's Day! I got to sleep in and enjoy some 90's music on U93 before heading out to my church. It was my first time being involved in REEF (Reaching Everyone, Evangelizing Freely), our No-Strings-Attached ministry to the community. I loved it and wish it could have lasted longer! Very simply, I went out with a couple other ladies...

Enjoying Dunkin' Donuts blueberry coffee with Josh.

A few weeks ago my awesome church gave me money.What's that?Yes, you heard correctly. My church gave me and the rest of the congregation money. That week's sermon was about having a spirit of generosity and about making investments in the kingdom. The pastor (with approval from the elders of course) took an entire week's worth of tithes/offerings that come into the church...
