Preparing for the More in 2025!
The last few months of 2024 were a roller coaster ride for me and probably most. Life changes, election results, downsizing, layoffs, and deaths all had their placement on many calendars. The gift is that tomorrow brings new beginnings and a rainbow after the rain if you choose to see it. Each…

Life's Hiccups
"If you want to make God laugh, man plans." Oh, how often have I heard that saying? I'm a planner. I love creating to-do lists and checking them off once accomplished, but life has a way of stopping me dead in my tracks. Sometimes it's someone else's emergency or work or the weather. Either way,...

The Waiting Room
Life has a way of making you wait. Sometimes we have to wait to hear difficult news or fantastic news. Sometimes we have to wait our turn in line to purchase something or be refused an opportunity. Either way, waiting can be hard. What I'm learning in my own waiting spaces is that the discomfort...

Peace. Be Still.
Life gets loud and time keeps on ticking. It's in those moments that I run to catch it or try to hold on for dear life all while feeling it's slipping away. The control of all situations I crave reminds me that that is a false belief. I will run myself down before I get quiet so I can hear the...

Protection
Life's rejection is God's protection. I say this often. I remind myself that the Lord is all-seeing and all-knowing and there are times when I want things like relationships, jobs, and connections and the outcome doesn't match my prayer.

The Purge
I've been purging. It wasn't planned. It was in God's time and through his direction. It's been challenging, cathartic, painful, and peaceful. So many seasons, reasons, people, and times have brought me to this place. So many prayers for more clarity, the now and the wait have had to happen to…

The Power of Our Words
We have the power to speak life or death over ourselves. We have the power to insight into worry or peace, to create scenarios in our minds that aren’t real, and to evoke stress and strain or peace and joy….it starts with our thoughts and manifests with our words and actions. Worry is easy, joy…

Celebrate Somebody Today!
Life is too short to not celebrate the special people in your life. Words alone can heal a heart and motivate a spirit.

Who are You Living for?
Our lives are determined by our choices. What's important to us, what we need to feel happy, joyful, peaceful, and alive. Sometimes we forget that and find ourselves making decisions that don't benefit us because we've decided to give our power away, to care about what others think, to lean into...

Shine Your Light!

Pray, Don't Worry.
I ask the Lord for many things. Often his timing is different from mine and that's when the worry sets in. In those moments, I'm reminded that God's will is better than mine and his timing is perfect. If I take it to him in prayer, I should leave it there because he knows what the future holds…

Fear of Vulnerability
One of the hardest things to do is be seen. Seen for who we really are and not as we present. It's hard to allow people to love us who know our faults and our flaws and it's hard to be loved by those who don't. In one way you feel unworthy and in the other, you feel like a fraud or an imposter.…

The Gifts We Carry
The individuality of you is your superpower. Only you can do what you do. Who you are is as specific as your DNA, but it's up to you to tap in and share it. The world would have you downplay, neglect, or belittle your differences while God is waiting on you to see that that's your ultimate...

Go All In.
Sometimes in life, we hold back out of protection. We don't show up fully out of fear of rejection, fear, or a need to control the outcome. This can be the biggest setup for failure because if we don't commit fully, then we can't stand in the essence of all we are and are capable of. We limit...

The Love You're Worthy Of

Show Up for Yourself!
Sometimes we require others to show up in our lives in ways we don't show up for ourselves. We expect them to fill our voids and the places we lack.
