Right now, in our world, some people are quick to share every little aspect of their lives. Social media is filled with posts about what food you just ate, what outfit you are wearing, what funny thing your pet just did, your latest workout, and so much more.  We’ve seen over the years a rise in “influences” for everything from skin products and clothing spanning across the board to touchy subjects like politics.  I don’t know about you, but I am not a salesperson. I cannot go online and promote a p[...]

It has been said that your daily habits have the power to change your life. We prioritize the little things that shape our mindset, goals, and relationships. I'm talking about consistency or being consistent.  The dictionary defines consistency as; being in the habit of doing the same thing on a regular basis. Consistency is the act of living by the same principles. It is the practice of being the same when it comes to attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, and characteristics.   A consistent person is not a wi[...]

Whenever we would be driving long distances with our kids, we would limit screens and devices. Inevitably, every single time there would be an eruption of complaints. Even though we remained consistent on our road trip rules, the ever-wondering question would be raised, "What else are we supposed to do?" The answer was always, "We are going to just be."  This response wasn't always a well-loved answer, especially at first, but slowly and surely, it was accepted that, in our family, that meant just being wit[...]

Have you ever had someone come to you with a problem or been in a place in life where there seemed to be no clear answer or help? How many of us are guilty of searching for solutions to our issues everywhere except in God? I know I would be the first to raise my hand to say I have. I have also, like many others, been guilty of hearing someone else's problems and inadvertently default to basic Band-Aid advice that the world would offer instead of pointing them to our Almighty, Ever Present, Healing God. I rec[...]

For many years now, I have begun each year with a word or a series of words to take with me over the course of the next 365 days. For me, my words for 2022 came to me long before 2021 was even close to being over. I wanted to take a moment and share what God has laid on my heart with you. My first word for 2022 is JOY. This is not a word I picked personally, but instead, it was given to me by God in a way that was hard to overlook. You see, it was first mentioned back in November when a mentor of mine prayed[...]

We all have a story to share of the Goodness of God in our lives. None of our stories will be the same; they are unique to each of us as individuals and our personal faith stories. Our stories may be different and personalized, but the underlying message of God's unfailing love and mercy remains the same for each and every one of us. I have really felt the stirring of the Holy Spirit over the last couple of months that we are to share our stories. We are to talk about the things God has done and is continuin[...]

With all eyes on The Tokyo 2020 Olympics over the last weeks, it was hard not to get inspired to get off our couches and start running, jumping and throwing things far distances.  Personally, the worldwide event got me contemplating and comparing it to the race we are all in. The race that the Bible speaks of in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (TPT), "Isn't it obvious that all runners on the racetrack keep on running to win, but only one receives the victor's prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorio[...]

During some of my darkest times over this past year, my dwindling hope would be restored when God would use people to speak truth into my life. One Sunday several months ago, a young woman allowed God to use her as a messenger of encouragement. You see, I had spent the week before questioning if God was hearing me if He cared about my problems and wondering if what I was going through mattered to Him. Nothing was changing in my situation despite my endless cries for a breakthrough to happen. So that brings us[...]

How many of us can admit we sometimes allow fear to block our memory of the times God has come through for us in the past?  I know I have more times than I can count. It's like we experience Spiritual Amnesia. Although God has come through countless times in the past, when looking our situation square on, we only see the trial and start the worry that this time we won't make it through. We instantly go into "what if" panic mode instead of looking to Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, to do what He does best. Psa[...]
