Do you ever find that when you pause to work on one thing, clarity for other tasks and projects pop into your head? I’ve literally just got my coffee and sat down and the idea of what to write about has left me. I didn’t pause and write it down – it was one of […]

Phenomenal Growth
Let’s make this the year of phenomenal growth! Projects accomplished, opportunities taken, conversations had, and potential realized! Can you even imagine what an amazing life you might live if you stepped confidently into where God has you instead of holding back, listening to fears, and playing it safe? Why not incorporate courage and boldness into […]
You’ve Got This!
You’ve got this! No matter what you are facing today – be it finals or long days, lack of direction or difficult coworkers. These struggles and trials will refine and strengthen you, if you let them. Sometimes little things in life can annoy us. Having to run back into the grocery store for one more […]
Let Your Light Shine
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 Every week I put up a new Bible verse to consider and ponder. No matter what is going on in life, the verses always seem incredibly appropriate […]
He Restores Your Soul
Psalm 23 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. It is full of reminders of God’s protection, love and faithfulness. I especially love the verse that reminds us that He restores your soul. What a gift, when the world has gone crazy and we are pulled in too many directions, to know that […]

Lather, Rinse, Repeat
Lather, rinse, repeat – familiar words often found on a shampoo bottle. I remember hearing them used humorously in a TV show we were watching and they just sort of stuck. I rather see it as representing trying something – be it making or breaking a habit, taking on a new job, or some such, […]
Using Your Talents
Are you using your talents well? This isn’t the time for hiding your light under a bushel, but rather owning your God-given skills to serve Him and others to the best of your ability. Different people have different skills. Some people use a screwdriver like it is an extension of their arm. They zip in […]
Anticipating the New Year
Now that we are well into November, I find myself anticipating the new year. I like to look ahead, ask God what He has for me and consider what opportunities I might want to pursue. It is important to be looking ahead. Considering the future is a really good way to avoid short-sighted mistakes in […]
