Our small group leaders at Kinetic are AMAZING! I just spent a weekend with 28 of our small group leaders in Myrtle Beach. It was a very moving weekend for David and I as we began to see the vision that began with this church about 5 years ago finally begin to take hold on [...]
Hello Everyone, Thanks for your patience through the summer. I know it was a long dry spell from the beginning of July to the end of August. I had my hands full with all 4 of my kids home and I was babysitting for another one as well. We just kicked back, played, read, went [...]
Sometimes I struggle with being a mom. I have had to give up so much to take care of these four little children. I gave up my career as a teacher and coach. I gave up control of my body when I got pregnant…again and again and again. Most days I give up eating a [...]
