https://kristenrpadilla.com/2015/04/10/is-there-enough-room-for-women-in-vocational-ministry
Reflections on God, Scripture and the Christian Life. Is There Enough Room For Women In Vocational Ministry? April 10, 2015. April 14, 2015. It was humbling. And a little embarrassing.

Reflections on God, Scripture and the Christian Life. I love you with my whole….liver? May 3, 2009. I don’t know about you but I love to doodle. I have been in school for 20 years, and I can look back over 20-years worth of class notes and find all around the edges of my paper little stars, smiley faces, trees, and yes, my most adored doodling character, hearts. For as long as I remember, hearts have signified that one, most sought after word –. The heart, especially in the book of Proverbs, is interchan...

Reflections on God, Scripture and the Christian Life. Category: Grace for the Sinner series. Chipped fingernail paint and the gospel. October 14, 2015. This past weekend was one of those tough parenting moments. As an aside, I am thankful for those friends who debunked the myth early on that it’s only the 2s that are terrible or else I would be completely unprepared for the 4s! We know all too well our sins and offenses. It turns out Jesus doesn’t even want the best we have to offer. What does Jesus want?
