Having Compassion for Your Spouse’s Inabilities

Part of marriage (or any relationship for that matter) is understanding that your spouse is not always going to be running at full capacity. Life hits us each a little differently and usually when one of you is weak, the other is strong. But sometimes both of you will be feeling weak, and that's ok, [...]

Curiosity is My New Favorite Emotion!

Curiosity is becoming my new FAVORITE emotion!  It’s such a mindset SHIFTER because it immediately takes the focus off of YOU & puts it on the other person! Your brain begins to ask questions like, “I wonder what’s going on with them?” And, “I wonder what they must be feeling to make them say that [...]

You Can Have What You Say! So, What Are You Saying?

Did you know that you can have what you say? So, what are you saying? What if I told you that it was Jesus who said this, not me? "Whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE [...]

True Discipline is Done From a Place of Love

True discipline is done from a place of LOVE and not anger. Correction, like a pilot who slightly adjusts to stay on course for the destination, is a positive thing. It helps the child stay in a position to achieve a positive destination. Much of disciplining a toddler is just constant re-directing when they get [...]

Don’t Give Up! God Will Fight For Your Marriage!

30 years ago today, Valentine's Day, we had our first date. 3 years ago the enemy tried to steal him away from me. Did you know we have an enemy in this life? He hates strong marriages and detests healthy families. Insecurity, confusion, and division, all stem from fear. It's the only card he's got. [...]

When You Tell Yourself You’re Not Interested in SEX

I showed my husband the title of this new post and his response was “What? Why would you ever tell yourself that? God created us to want sex.” But, I’m sure you’ve been there, Sis. I have, too. Because we all have human brains that try to convince us of things that are just not [...]

Everything God is Ever Going to Do For Me He’s ALREADY Done?!

Everything I need God to do He has already done! Wait! What? How can that be? It’s already done? Yep! Because Jesus cannot and will not go back to the cross. It was finished. Your forgiveness, done. Your redemption, done. Your physical healing, done. Your provision, done. Your peace, done. Your joy, restored. But I’m [...]

JOY is God’s Powerful Prescription for You!

Ever been at a hard place in your life and felt guilty for momentarily feeling joy and happiness because of this one huge thing you are still grieving? Me, too. To be honest, some days I'm still there. And you know what? That's okay. Grief often comes in waves and when they no longer hit [...]

Free To Choose

You've probably heard it said that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it. And how we respond is usually how our brains have been wired to respond. One of the most important things my life coach taught me was that our THOUGHTS will ALWAYS create our RESULTS. Not [...]
