            A few years ago, I spoke at a women’s retreat. The theme for the weekend was “Do you hear Jesus calling you?”. Jesus has been calling me for quite some time. At this event, I was able to share story after story of how God has spoken to me; from selling our home, leaving our community, then our church and lastly, selling my business to follow the dream of writing a book. By hearing, trusting and obeying God, me and […]

              As we deepen our relationship with God, we begin to be who God created us to be. Last week’s blog reminded us how important it is to become that new creation in Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 tells us God “made his light shine in our hearts.” It is exciting to think God gives us this light, and that light actually dwelt amongst us.

Ways to help others, including needs within our communities and even in our families. Often, I would find myself asking, […]

Do you know how to be joyful in hope? Last week, I shared the One Goal that would change your life forever.  I was excited to hear from many of you listing the tips that resonated within your own lives. As we round the corner of the second week of January, hope and anticipation hang in the air. I have this ‘hope’ for a better year, for a better me. Hope is a powerful thing.  Ironically, my morning scripture reading came from Romans 12:12, which […]

            With a brand new year comes a renewed sense of excitement and messages promising goals that will change your life forever. But there is only one goal that will change your life forever. With this brand new year, it is a great time to decide what you will focus on. Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “So you think, so shall you be.” What do you want to be in this new year?
