Perhaps you – like most all of us – are waiting for something. Be it a job, direction, a home, etc. I believe I’ve shared before waiting is not my favorite thing. It requires patience and pause, and being the red-blooded American that I am, I want to go at life full throttle. But what […]
Encouragement
Give It Your All
Where is life taking you this year? You’ve been praying for God’s guidance, you’ve been praying for specific things, and maybe that’s not what’s currently in front of you. Trust that God knows right where He has you and give it your all. Pretend that what’s presented to you – an opportunity, a job, whatever […]
Where to Begin
Do you ever wonder where to begin? You want to change things up a bit, make a shift and reach for new goals, and yet you feel a bit stuck in a rut? How do you decide where to begin, what changes to make and what goals to pursue? This is a fun question because […]
Happy 2025!
Happy 2025! Can you even believe it is here? It sounds kind of funny to say it, but I’ve always found the number 25 to be intriguing and exciting. It’s not because age 25 stands out in my mind – I honestly couldn’t really tell you anything of great merit about it. But for some […]

When you play it small, you play it safe. But when you take a chance, a calculated risk, exciting outcomes enter the equation.

Incredible Opportunities Are Ahead
As we wind up the year, it always strikes me that incredible opportunities are ahead! Not that we should wait until the beginning of a new calendar year to pursue our dreams and goals, but rather the rush and busyness of the year has often slowed enough to consider what is next. The other day, […]
Odds and Ends
Next up on the agenda, around the day to day, is odds and ends – in addition to making plans for the new year. The rush and the hurry and the prep of Black Friday is now behind us. True, things will probably be steady busy through the New Year, but the biggest shopping day […]
Lean Into The Now
No matter your hopes, no matter your dreams, learn to lean into the now. Though you may be more excited about what’s coming, discover how to create excitement in where you currently are. This can be a constant challenge, a constant opportunity to practice faith. Being content and enjoying where God currently has you doesn’t […]
Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem! Or to put it another way, Seize the Day! We have one life, God has designed us with a purpose, and it is our job to spend our lives discovering just what that purpose is. True it will shift and change, but that is part of the adventure we get to call life! […]
Dream Big Again
Dream Big Again – I read that phrase the other day and it really resounded with me! I want to be sure I dream big, because I serve an incredible, unlimited God! This year has been one of a lot of work, long hours, and wait-and-see situations. Reading that phrase sparked something inside of me! […]
