Spaces of Grace Body, Soul, and Spirit
It’s important to care for ourselves, body, soul, and spirit. God does not see these areas of our lives separately, and neither should we. He created us as holistic beings.
On this page, you’ll find blog posts divided into each topic of body, soul, and spirit. At Spaces of Grace, we’re passionate about learning how to care for ourselves in all three ways. Because as women, we’re always caring for others. And if we’re not healthy and strong, we won’t have anything to give. Join us in the conversation. We’d love to hear what’s important to you in your life.

Good Friday: Judas and Jesus

Whatever Is True

What Is Lectio Divina or Sacred Reading?
Reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies. As a child I could pass away an entire summer afternoon while I devoured a book — usually a new Nancy Drew mystery. As a young adult I discovered my passion for nonfiction as I read books to learn a new skill. Once I...
Grow in Your Love Day 11 Be Loved, Beloved
1 Though I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do...
