Do hard things and Do things hard

Ask my boys who are now young men and they will both tell you I said this to them constantly…”Do hard things!” Tonight I watched the best movie with Gavin, my oldest and my daughter-in-love, Mckenzie.

Who is God and who are you?

First, who is God? I sensed in my heart yesterday in worship that many don’t know God as El Shaddai and Jehovah Jireh for me to share with you WHO GOD IS when it comes to this part of who He is. El Shaddai means“God Almighty” or“God All-Sufficient” That means, according to His Word (that […]

What you tolerate you endorse

What you tolerate you endorse… Get used to answering questions with questions like, “Is that honoring up, down and all around?” And if it is not, then statements, like, “There is no provision for that here.” When someone in your family or organization does or says something that goes cross grain with your values or […]

Why am I not happy?

My favorite definition of the word, happy is: enjoying, being marked by, or showing pleasure, satisfaction, and joy. Think about it…isn’t that the absolute best definition of happy you’ve ever heard?! It’s so true. When you’re happy, it shows.

Help yourself

We’ve all said it, “I just couldn’t help myself!” Come on now, yea, we both could’ve, ummmmm, but we didn’t because of one lame excuse or the other. Am I right or am I right? It’s easier to blame or ignore or slough it off as not a big deal or bottom line: simply not […]

Up and Down

Ever been there? One minute you feel on top of the world and the next as if you’re buried under…you’re not sure what? That’s when verses from the Bible come to mind like “Don’t grow weary in well doing” and “His burden is light and His yoke is easy” and “As a man thinks in […]

Your Most Important Boundaries

What if you focused on these boundaries? Oh how life would change for the better! Imagine with me a healthy, fit body, enough money to pay bills and extra for fun and to invest into the gospel as God leads you as much as you actually desire.
