I Was Regretting the Wrong Thing

I Was Regretting the Wrong Thing Kerobokan Prison, Bali Indonesia. I don’t want someone else getting my assignments because I was too afraid to say yes. More about that below… Yesterday I used my mouth to confirm fears. I stepped out in courage and decided to have no fear. I said things with courage and […]
Watch. Your. Mouth.

Watch. Your. Mouth. This topic is something I feel like we will ALWAYS be coming back around to. We hear it, change for a few days, and then we find ourselves back to our old mouthy ways because it doesn’t seem like such a big deal. THE POWER OF OUR WORDS. A couple words have grown […]
Self-Strength Closes the Portal

Self-Strength Closes The Portal Raise your hand if any of these apply to you… 🙋♀️ Burning the candle at both ends… Running on empty Running on fumes Spread too thin Wearing too many hats Juggling too much In over my head Too much on my plate Stretching myself thin Barely holdin’ on …Sound familiar?

Why I’m Not Rushing Into the New Year

Why I’m Not Rushing Into the New Year I have a love/hate relationship with the New Year.

If You Want More…NOW is the Time!

If You Want More…NOW is the Time! As I am looking in the mirror these days, I see lots of changes.

Becoming a Woman of Mighty Valor I’m realizing one of the most valuable character traits I can have is courage — mental, emotional, and spiritual bravery.Everything the Lord asks of me requires it.Everything. Every conviction to overcome, every habit to die to, every area to grow in—it all demands one thing: strength of mind and courage of spirit. REAL […]
HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER

He Calls Me Daughter No matter what kind of dad you had — a great one, an absent one, a harsh or unloving one, a damaged one, or a passive one — at some point as adults we have to come to terms with the fact that our dads were just people trying to get […]
The Security We’re Obsessed With

The Security We’re Obsessed With “All who are obsessed with being secure in life will lose it all—including their lives. But those who let go of their lives and surrender them to me will discover true life.” —Luke 17:33 Security. Isn’t that what we’re all chasing? A plan that won’t fall apart. A life that […]
Get Off the Sideline!

Get Off The Sideline! SIDELINE (verb) – To remove from active participation. To be on the sidelines is to watch life happen rather than make it happen. Whether by choice or by distraction, sideliners are not fully engaged. It may be harmless, but it’s costly. Living life on the sidelines means you’re not in the game. You’re not influencing, growing, […]
Breaking the Cycle of Empty Promises

Breaking the Cycle of Empty Promises Walk with me for a moment.
