  In last week’s blog, Are you listening?, we discussed the importance of being quiet and paying attention in order to hear God speak. I challenged you to find some alone time with God to just listen. For me, God speaks in that still small voice. It is an internal hearing, not audible to my external ears. Some might call it intuition, Source, The Divine or the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter what you call it. What matters is that you pay attention to it. […]

I just got back from speaking at a women’s retreat in Nashville, TN. The theme for the weekend was “Do you hear Jesus calling you?”. I have heard Jesus calling me, so I was super excited to share my story. I told story after story of how God spoke 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, we have travelled a path […]

  As we deepen our relationship with God, we begin to be who God created us to be. Last week’s blog reminds us how important it is to become that new creation in Christ. It makes me think of 2 Corinthians 4:6 where God tells us that he “made his light shine in our hearts…” It’s exciting to think that God gave us this light and that light not only dwelt among us (Jesus the Emmanuel) but also dwells within us. Exciting stuff if you ask me! This […]

I long to have a deeper relationship with God, to be all that God created me to be. My blog from a couple weeks ago reminds me that all I need to do is focus on what I want to be. I want to be with God! Mysteriously, God makes me a better person. There is a quote by Marianne Williamson that says, “I am […]

As I wrote my New Year’s blog last week, I hoped that it would be an encouragement to you. I was excited to hear from many of you listing the tips that resonated the most within your own lives. As we round the corner of the second week of January, hope and anticipation are hanging in the air. I have this ‘hope’ for a better year, for a better me. It got me thinking about hope. Ironically, my morning scripture reading came from Romans 12:12, which […]

  With a brand new year comes a renewed sense of excitement with every message promising goals that will change your life forever! As the anticipation builds, it’s 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? Kind, more organized,  prayerful or more loving? What do you think about? Do the two line up? Focusing on your goals by writing them down, measuring […]
