We can make plans, but the Lord directs our steps. As the end of the year approaches, I’m thinking more and more about my goals. What I want to accomplish in the upcoming year and what I want to get done before the end of this year. Note: If you use a planner for scheduling […]

Do the Work
Do the work and leave the results to God. I read this quote earlier this week and it really resonated with me. How often do we get hung up wondering about the details, the conclusion, stuck in the paralysis of analysis? Sometimes we even resist starting or trying something because we don’t know how it […]
A Perfect Balance
I recently read an interesting thought: God created things with a perfect balance. I hadn’t considered things in this light, but upon reflection, I see many areas where this applies. Though there is evil there is always good, blessings are balanced by responsibilities, questions are balanced by answers and direction, etc. The more I ponder […]
Peaceful on Purpose
I have been reading Joel Osteen’s new book Peaceful on Purpose and I have really been enjoying it. Much like all of his books, his simple reminders to trust God and be your best for Him really inspire me. These are things I know to do, and yet with all the busyness and distractions in […]

The Power of Your Perspective
You should never underestimate the power of your perspective. It affects so many areas in your life and it can exponentially increase your joy and gratitude! I have found it so helpful to change my perspective in a number of areas. It is said that there is always a silver lining and I do believe […]
All Your Might
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…” – Ecclesiastes 9:10a Every Monday part of my devotions is putting up a new Scripture for the week. A few years back, my sister brought me some lovely and decorative cards with Scripture on them, so now every week I pull out a […]
Get on the Rig
Get on the rig, words from a powerful reminder that I wanted to share with you, but first let me share a bit of a back story. We go back 20 years, back to the Twin Towers, the day they came down. Father Mychal Judge was the chaplain of a New York City fire station. […]
Making Room to Grow
Making room to grow is so important if we want to be the best version of ourselves. Without growth, we won’t step into the incredible opportunities that God has ready for us! But growth takes courage, it takes faith, and it can feel a bit risky. We can’t let the unknowns ahead of us keep […]
Look Past Yourself
Recently I’ve been reading a book on relationships. Specifically relationships between men and women. I’ve always heard (and believe it to be true) that men and women think very differently, and I want to be the best I can be in my relationship so thought this book might give me some insight. As I read […]
Apply Yourself Well
Do you ever wonder what you can do in life to really make a difference? Apply yourself well. To your work, to your school, to your projects, and yes, even the mundane things such as dishes and laundry. To be honest, I’ve found myself a bit distracted lately. For rather pleasant reasons really, but I […]
