Why We Should Stop Parenting Our Adult Children
Hey, Dear Mama! I was thinking today about why this NEW SEASON of parenting can sometimes feel awkward, strained, and downright painful. And I think it's because we haven't FULLY SHIFTED into this NEW VERSION of being a mom. As humans, we are a being that requires nurturing and care throughout our lives. Obviously, when [...]
The PRAISE Cure
I came to the altar during the praise and worship segment of the service and simply began to dance before the Lord. Pastor didn't invite people to come, I just came because the Holy Spirit tugged on my spirit to "COME". I started out "in the flesh" which is required because honestly, I don't always [...]
Presence Changes Everything
AI can’t give you what the presence of a coach can. Have you ever asked ChatGPT for advice about your marriage or mothering? What did it tell you? It may have seemed to make sense intellectually but it didn’t create the lasting change you are desiring. Why? Because you are not an intellect. You are [...]

Challenges are what make us strong. If a baby is never allowed to crawl, to explore, to fall again and again how will they learn to walk? How will they learn to develop their muscles and their confidence in their own ability? We are growing right alongside our children, no matter how old we are [...]

They Were the Dream
Often the first quarter of life is all about you; growing, learning, maturing, discovering your gifts. Raising children typically takes another quarter of your life. Then there are so many more years in life where you will have time to pursue other things. The Bible says "the gifts and callings of God are without repentance" [...]
