Hi, my name is Laketa and I'm a control freak! When I’m unsure of my next steps I become frustrated and extremely anxious. I always need a plan, strategy, and direction. Can you relate? If you answered yes then I pray what you’re about to read helps you! Not knowing what moves to make or which way to go is uncomfortable and terrifying.

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withheld from those who walk uprightly." (Psalms 84:11) I was cleaning up around the house the other day.

The name of her giant is comparison. I hate watching my friend struggle so ... View the Post
Bible With Bae: Keeping God at the Center of Courtship
When you think about what you want the foundation of your relationship to be, what comes to mind? Trust? Honesty? Fun? We all have different things that we deem important to the foundation of a great relationship. For me, faith is the foundation I look for in my relationships. In my mind, an amazing guy was going to come along one day, we would share the same faith and God would be at the center of the relationship.
