Choose Who You Will Follow
October 2016 Self indulgence has always been my down fall …. I mean seriously – who doesn’t crave comfort and ease. Yet God calls us to so much more – something that will be so much better. Growth is just a part of my walk with God. He doesn’t want me to stay stuck and …

Be Bold! Be Raw! Be where you are – just don’t stay there!

Be precious to God
February 25, 2016 When we make a stand for God, there is often some sort of “fall out”. I believe it is spiritual warfare – Satan has lost the war. Yet he still wants to win every battle and do everything he can to neutralize the work we do for God’s Kingdom. This has been …

Plan for next week
February 21, 2016 Thad and I take time at least once a week to get focused for the week ahead. Sometimes we need to expand the time frame, but every week, we make time to talk about what is coming and what needs to happen … we cover everything from meals, appointments, date time, down time, …

Remembering can be hard
February 16, 2016 Over the past 7-10 days, I have been asked to revisit the past in a bold way. Sometimes the walk down memory lane can bring joy … sometimes it can be incredibly painful. I pray that during this time of remembering, I remember things in a way that honors God. I pray …
