Transformation Designed with You at Heart
The reflection of letters and words are easily distorted by a mirrored reflection. I didn’t really consider that until I started doing zoom and other video recording to teach people concepts. Thank goodness there are settings that help correct that problem. It is so easy for things to get lost in translation. I’m so thankful […]
Fill in the blank questions can be intimidating on a test. Have you ever thought about everyday we are given as a fill in the blank? Each new day is a day for us to fill and because of the freedom we have in Christ we get to choose how we will fill it. I’m […]
Words often come easier than following through with action. Especially when it comes to trusting God in the area of our finances. But truth be told money is another chariot that we might be putting greater trust in. Our challenge is to sit this week with the question; are money and my finances a chariot […]
Despite what our ears are hearing and our eyes are seeing we are called to trust. We are called to stand steady in trusting prayer. I don’t think it a coincidence that our theme this week is leaders. Today is definitely a day that we need to be taking our leaders at all levels and […]
Accept or Deny the Mission: A nation with hope is grounded in God’s word. All throughout scripture the Lord points us to the provision He provides for nations who follow after Him and put their trust and hope in Him above all the things of this earth. But the nations who don’t are taken down […]
I keep on having conversations about how 2022 didn’t start off how women expected it to. Is the same true for you? Many women I talked with at my last event, Clear Vision Conference 2022 said they were, “ready for a restart”. If you are shaking your head as you read this then my […]
The wind was the exclamation point on the chilly day. I hadn’t packed a jacket so I was thankful for my sweatshirt to help block the wind and the sun that randomly broke through the clouds to provide some warmth. My temporary discomfort and chill became insignificant as we drove up to the first stop […]
“Clean up in aisle 7!” blares over the stores intercom system to alert the clean up crew they are needed. As a shopper what do you instinctively do? Go to aisle 7 or avoid it? The clean up crew probably wishes they could avoid it with the avoiders but it’s there job. My college […]
Altering our ego can give us a new perspective and in many cases new found confidence. Halloween in America is a time when people do just that they alter their ego by taking on a masked personality through a costume that gives them a temporary new identity. It can be fun, empowering, and enlightening all […]
How are you doing today? I really want to know. Just the other day I told a friend that I feel like I’m walking through a minefield. Maybe you can relate. Navigating conversations that used to be so simple can blow up unexpectedly. I think now more than ever we need to be dressed and […]
When is the last time you flew on an airplane? I just returned from a quick trip to Sitka Alaska. So often we just mentally check out when the Flight Attendants start their required safety brief about seat belts, emergency exits, flotation devices, and oxygen masks. (You might even heard the little monologue in […]
Rules are just suggestions. Depending on your unique personality make up that statement will either have you shaking your head in agreement or cringing at the thought. Which one are you, a rule follower or a rule breaker? I like to keep both rule followers like me and rule breakers in my life. Why? […]
Revisiting the essentials for life: “Oxygen is essential to life!” Just like redemption is essential for eternal life. Both Breathing and and redemption call us to a place of surrender and release. How is your spiritual breathing? Have you been holding your breath too long? Take a deep breath. Hold it…..keep holding it….okay BREATHE. I […]
WINNERS NEVER QUIT Our greatest wins are accompanied by an inner battle cry of “YES! I can. YES! I will.” Winners never quit. Quitting on a process means quitting on the result. This is not an attribute of an achiever. For high achievers, the demand or difficulty doesn’t matter as much as accomplishing the goal. […]
Which will leave us with regret? — the things we have done or left undone???? Often we put off or avoid doing things because we don’t think we are good enough and we are afraid of failing. Mark Twain’s insight about regrets— “twenty years from now you will be more disappointed with the things you […]
The world we live in is desperate for us to see it’s point of view. When is the last time you sat back to think about your perspective and how it affects your daily life? How much do you think our perspective influences our life? Our perspective shapes our life. We develop our view of […]
Overwhelmed by the circumstances of life? Caught in a trap and looking for a way out? Wondering if prayers are even heard? Most of us, if we are honest, have an area in our life that we really want changed. We might even feel trapped and almost enslaved like the Israelite’s in Egypt. There is […]
Engaged in prayer. What does it look like to be engaged in prayer? What does it mean for us to be engaged in prayer? Does that statement describe our prayer life? I was challenged with a new way of looking at prayer engagement in the current Bible Study I’m doing Prayer Warrior by Stormie Omartian. […]
I have the privilege of leading a weekly woman’s Bible study. We are currently going through Stormie Omartian’s book and study guide “Prayer Warrior”. I don’t think many people regularly put these two words together, so it might seem like a strange book title to you. Either way I hope you will grow in […]

What tends to be on repeat in your thought life? Often it isn’t a song on repeat it is our own self-critic. I spent many years holding myself back from living my life to the fullest because of my inner critic and imaginary standards that I didn’t meet. Of which, all lead me to disqualifying […]
