While we look at the sweet image on a Christmas card and remember that Jesus came as a little babe in a manger, that is NOT who Jesus is anymore! The little frail baby or maybe you remember Him as the frail, broken, and bruised man on the cross, but while that was Him that [...]

On the 11th Day of Christmas!
On the 11th Day of Christmas... LOVE lets everyone else be... One of the most profound things I learned from my own coach is the truth that EXPECTATIONS are just pre-meditated RESENTMENTS! Because we all are human and will let each other down sometimes. But WE have to feel the yuck of resentment inside of [...]
On the 9th Day of Christmas!
Did you know that you are NOT your emotions? Whenever we hear ourselves saying things like "I am sad," "I'm so frustrated," or "I'm so anxious," it's the perfect cue from our brains to PAUSE and think about what we are really saying. And ask ourselves, "Is that true?" And then we can change those [...]
On the 3rd Day of Christmas!
On the 3rd Day of Christmas... Forgive. Don't bring "un-forgiveness" into the season. It will only rob you of your peace. "But you don't know what they did!" Doesn't matter. "But isn't that letting them "off the hook?" Is it? Perhaps it's letting YOU off the hook. From the pain in your heart that YOU [...]
BREAKTHROUGH Happens When We PRAISE!
Coming off the heels of an incredible worship night at church has got me reflecting on the importance of PRAISE. It is right to go to our Father in prayer and make our requests known to Him. The Bible says, "You have not because you ask not." James 4:2 Jesus said, "Whatever you ask in [...]
Which Report Are YOU Believing?
Have you ever heard someone say that they are going back to the doctor, but that they are "believing for a good report?" Or they may even ask you to pray and believe with them for a "good report." While this may sound good, it's a subtle error that could be holding them back from [...]
Do Your Prayers Seem to Go Unanswered?
At times it may seem like we are not being heard. Just like at other times it may seem like we can't hear God. But, the Word teaches us in 1 John 5:14, 15 that we can have CONFIDENCE that when we pray according to His will, He does HEAR US! And if He hears [...]
Are You Celebrating Your Progress?
Have you noticed how much you've changed? Have you noticed that you are handling your situation better than you would have in the past? Just the increase in awareness of your current emotional state and the thoughts that have caused it is something to be celebrated. You are no longer a victim of your feelings. [...]
A Prayer for You
Father, I pray the woman reading this today would know how deeply loved she is by You. Whether she feels it tangibly or not, Your presence is with her wherever she goes. That she would know that her value does not come from the words of her husband affirming her, from her children behaving perfectly, [...]
If All Pain Originates From Thoughts, Are You Ready to Change How You’re Thinking?
Would you describe yourself as a "glass half empty" thinker? Or perhaps you've taken one of those personality quizzes and your results always come out as "melancholic"? And then you think to yourself, "I guess I'm doomed. I can never change. See, it's just who I am." Ask me how I know. Yes, I used [...]
