Hey. You know, I just love being with you. It’s like visiting with an old friend. I imagine us sitting down on my big fluffy couch, with warm coffee in my oversized mug that has some inspirational message on it. I take a slow sip and settle in for some easy time of talking. It’s like we are getting to know each other. You know, it can be like that with God too. God already knows you; your heart, your mind, what you struggle […]

Many times, fear has kept me from what God would have me to do. For those of you following me, you already know I just sold my business of 20 plus years.

These are the muddy moments of life. Where nothing is quite as clear as it should […]
Let me be content In a season of buy, buy, buy; I find very little contentment within myself. 1Timothy 6:8, reminds me that I have ‘enough food’, more than enough actually. And I have ‘enough clothes’, clothes hanging in my closet that still have tags on them. “Let us be content.” Let ME be content. This is my prayer for me and my family. Give pause It’s a healthy reminder when this busy Christmas season tends to shove more, more, more down my throat. More gifts, […]
I dream big dreams. However, it has not always been that way. Some years back, I had this man randomly approach me and say, “God wants you to know, it is okay to dream big dreams.” The statement energized me then and it still energizes me now.
