I love finding new-to-me soup recipes. I have quite a few Mexican flavored soups we barrel through on a monthly basis so I tend to try and steer clear of those because how different can they really be?! But when I found this recipe and read that it included Masa and cheese, well, I was sold. Thick and hearty and full of flavor...a different flavor than any of the other Mexican soups we keep repeating. And it takes NO TIME to make!! Even better! ... Read More

I Am Who You Say I Am
How we define our identity is where true peace and contentment can be found. It's easy to allow ourselves to be characterized by the talk of man if we're not careful, but the words spoken by people to convince us who we are, are rarely grounded in truth. They're fickle and too easily influenced by emotion. There's freedom in the identity we've been assigned by God. Who He says we are NEVER changes. It doesn't shift based on His feelings. It's not influenced by our social media following. There's no failure or success that can make it budge. It's not affected by the number on the scale. And it certainly won't waver based on how we feel ... Read More
