The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to pen these words: “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with THANKSGIVING.” ~Colossians 4:2 Take some time every day to thank God for all He’s done in your life. When you are believing Him to do something new, once you’ve prayed and released your faith for [...]

Is Motherhood Your Highest Calling?
Over the years I have spoken with many mamas who feel "mom guilt" when they have other interests, desires, and dreams in addition to the high calling of raising their arrows. Why is that? Let's talk about it. I believe it's because we have been taught that if you are a Mama, the calling to [...]
Do You Want to See an Awakening?
If we desire a great awakening for our world, for our nation, for our church, then WE must become awakened OURSELVES and AWAKENING begins with an ENCOUNTER! "Blessed are those who HUNGER and THIRST after righteousness: for they SHALL BE FILLED!" Matt. 5:6 So, this verse is teaching us that the FILLING is reserved for [...]
Want to Grow Your Church, Ministry, or Business, but Feeling STUCK?
As ministers, we can so easily shift into frustration and despair when church attendance is not growing, we’ve made a mistake in implementing a “program," lost a valuable staff member or volunteer family, or shame ourselves for our human failures. The pain comes because we are not ALLOWING and PROCESSING THROUGH all the EMOTIONS that [...]
Giving Yourself the BEST Gift Ever
Are you ready to make an investment in YOURSELF? We don’t invest in coaching because we think it will change those around us, it will most definitely have ripple effects, but we do it because it’s a great way to LOVE ourselves. If the only two things Jesus commands us to do are to love [...]

Are You Addicted to Apologizing?
This is an area in my life that I am currently working on getting better at. The first step is simply gaining greater awareness. Maybe this will help you to be an APOLOGIZING OVERCOMER, too 😉 When someone shows up at the door unexpectedly we respond with, "I'm so sorry. My house is a mess [...]
Why Tithing is NOT the Same as Giving
There is a difference between TITHING and GIVING. The tithe is what we PAY back to God. It belongs to Him. It is His and it is HOLY. An offering is a gift that we GIVE above and beyond our tithes. It's a SEED that we SOW and just like a farmer, we can believe [...]
How Perfectionism Tries to Protect Us
Getting real with you all today. My mind was blown when I read this quote from Brené Brown: "Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame." It so resonated [...]
