As a community, we need to lean on each other and lift each other up. Not all seasons look pretty, but they are all necessary....

  2. Do It.

    For the last 10 years my father has sent "Morning Tidbits" to the family to help us through challenging times and all the other days in between. It has shown me the power of "doing it" and staying the course even when you think all hope is lost. No matter what stage of life you are in, never…

  3. More Than What You Think

    The 40 percent rule is widely known in the military world, seemingly created by Navy SEAL David Goggins. He says that when your mind wants to quit, you still have about 60 percent left to give.

  9. Who Do You Think You Are?

    My inspiration today comes from Pastor Steven Furtick and his book "Unqualified." The concept is simple; God uses EVERYONE, even broken people, to do big things! When we are in quarantine, it can be easy to fill our minds with negative thoughts. I dive into how we can all overcome these thoughts...

  10. Better Doors

    Pandemic, confusion, stress and anxiety. All the things that everyone wants you to think. God has a bigger plan and better doors will open after this is all over. When it seems like all the doors are closing, that is when God is working the most on his people. Find comfort in times like this.…
