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 […]

Making A List
Did you know, making a list helps you accomplish so much more during the day. This is such a good thing to remember, especially when things are busy! Do yourself a favor and keep a paper and pen on hand. True, your list could be made on your phone, but there’s just something wholesome and […]
Forgiveness Is Key
As Christians, forgiveness is key in living a life that pleases God. We must let go of grudges, let go of memories, and let go of the past. This doesn’t mean that we are blind to what we went through, but rather, ideally, we gain wisdom and press on with grace. We have to let […]
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

The Art of Tidying Up
The art of tidying up is valuable. It can take you from chaos to order, disaster to a clear picture. Many people live with disorder – they don’t know how to get things organized. But instead of choosing to live with it, what if we chose the art of tidying up? Start Small But Deliberately […]
Never Stop Improving
Not too long ago, Lowe’s slogan used to be Never Stop Improving. I couldn’t help but be inspired by that. Never stop improving isn’t limited to home improvement projects, but is in reality a great mindset for an incredible life! Living a Christian Life As Christians, we should always be working on learning God’s Word […]
Navigating the Unknown
Sometimes life can throw a lot at us at one time, can’t it? A lot of opportunities, a lot of requests, a lot of demands, etc. Navigating the unknown, figuring what to say yes to and what to gracefully decline can be challenging. The beauty of it is that God knows right where He has […]
