I accomplished so much this week, and I am looking forward finishing out my goals in the upcoming week! What I’ve accomplished: starting my health journey, being consistent in my video logs and tracking my process, losing 4 pounds (!), movement on business and professional goals, and starting on my new website. I am excited […]
Being purposeful about our steps
My attention is focused on accomplishing some targeted goals over the next two weeks, and I’m looking forward to its benefits and rewards. I’m finding that being consistent and purposeful about my every-day steps is an important value add to the process. It’s an accountable system of checks and balances. I am looking forward to […]
Today’s new journey
August 1, 2020 – Today’s new journey is the perfect start to achieving new goals – for this season and beyond. I’m looking forward to the results of what healthier, targeted choices will bring to my life. I am looking forward to the results of reaching for these goals. There are a couple of things […]
A Worthwhile Full Day
My husband always says for a person to affirm the work they have accomplished. And while today was one for the books, there is much affirmation to be received in things which were accomplished in the way of the Lord. Works of positive affirmation: How do you affirm yourself in achievement of your daily goals? […]
Experiencing the Happiness of Life
Today was a quiet day, yet everything that occurred within was so meaningful and valuable. It was a time to experience the happiness that God gives us in this life. When God gives us unique experiences, we should take the time to explore them with Him. And as we explore, we are able to realize […]
Seeing God’s Light
I often get up and enjoy God’s beautiful sunrise in the morning, and in the evening watching the ombre of the sky’s beautiful sunset has been a welcome Godly invitation. The Lord’s righteous sunlight presented itself in so many ways throughout our home today: in the morning through the blinds over coffee; midday through the […]
God’s restful peace
I always look forward to Saturdays. From coffee to dinner, the Lord made today such a calming and relaxing one. I got up with a mind to do a little sprucing here and there and to catch up on the little things. For some reason, I was inspired to roast coffee. And there I was. […]
Following God’s direction for your best benefit
When God gives us a new sense of direction, it is up to us to follow for our best benefit. It is for our own good; it is for our success; it is for our spiritual development in Him. Scripture says that God’s ways are not ours. His ways are above ours. Isaiah 55:8-9 says, […]
Ending the day with God
Ending the day with God allows me a quiet time of reflection. My soul and spirit is really at calm. Every time I lean into the Lord at the end of the day, I really feel an incredible sense of rest and peace. My thoughts are clearer, my heart is lighter, and I am better […]
Spaces of value
There is so much to be gained when the Lord introduces something new into our life. Everything that the Lord does is of value and there is beauty and splendor in it. That is yet the greatest experience of my day: the value that the Lord has given in new spaces. And in the Lord’s […]
Commit to finish
Starting something is always exciting. It’s a new thing that offers new joy and a new experience. Starting somewhere is always an exciting phase; but finishing what we start takes time & commitment. Are we being effective in our movement forward? It’s time to consider. We must commit to completing ALL that God has set […]
Experiencing God’s Journey
I am experiencing a beautiful journey in life with God. He has allowed us new spaces with Him while giving new perspective to old ones. I am enjoying the “space that we’re in.” And, as long as God allows me to, I will live the journey with Him. What are you experiencing on your God-given […]
The Lord always gives the right gifts
Answers. Healing. And Movement in your life. The Lord always gives the best gifts fit for your needs. So do not be discouraged, for the Lord hears your prayers, and He knows just what you need. There is no need to worry or fear. Sleep well, my child, and always trust in Him. He is […]
It’s National Ice Cream Day!
It’s the countdown to National Ice Cream Day, and I am soooo excited! I have such a big sweet tooth, as we all know, and growing up we ALWAYS had ice cream in the freezer. Pair it up with those saucy toppings of chocolate, caramel, syrupy walnuts, berries & more that my mom always had in […]
Excited for tomorrow
I am excited for tomorrow because I get to do the things I love the most. I get to enjoy the beautiful experiences of my home. I also get to share some of my favorite things. So, I am pretty excited about what tomorrow brings. As I begin to make preparations, I thank The Lord […]
Thank You, God!
I thank God for providing wisdom, insight, and teaching on the very things that I had questions about. And He did so through the wisdom given to my husband. I thank the Lord for His clarity, peace, and protection – for giving me what I need. Remember: The Lord will always give exactly what you […]
A little ‘God Time’
In just taking some time to pray and reflect at the end of today, I am thankful for a relationship with God. I am thankful for the way God comforts, soothes, and provides His peace. My ‘God Time’ is really His Time, a time where there is peaceful prayer and reflection with Him. God’s peace […]
Finishing your goals
I accomplished every goal that was set in front of me today. We often feel like we’re only “getting somewhere” once everything we start is completely finished and done. However, plans sometimes change along the way, and we have to start a few items smaller at a time, then place them back on the shelf […]
Inspired by the rain
There’s something about a rainy day that makes you just want to snuggle up and do no work at all. But, while the world has slowed down all around you, it creates the the perfect opportunity to get much farther ahead. So today, I cozied up to my hutch and quietly powered through some much-needed […]
God’s new experience
It’s cool in the house. It’s quiet. It’s Sunday. God has allowed me to experience something new with Him. Connecting with the Lord is so exciting! God shared a new sunrise with me this morning. It’s incredible how God gives you new experiences from Him. Experiencing the sunrise from a different location – a new […]
A Good Old-fashioned S’uthern Saturday
We woke up today to a good old-fashioned S’uthern Saturday – if you’re from the south, you know that means cleaning, enjoying the calm, peace, and fresh scents, and – grits. I thank God for my home. I love every bit of it. And I really enjoy those days where the Lord’s Spirit just takes […]
Friday, A Day of Good News
I had originally written this on Friday, June 20th. But today, after receiving an incredible promise from the Lord by way of good news, it became evident that it was the perfect day to share! We are just so thankful for the Lord’s covenant and are just thrilled as we see His blessings unfold before […]
Reflecting on successes
Guess what tomorrow is? It’s Friday! It’s an opportunity to finish what you’ve started and to gain peace of mind again. It’s an opportunity to look at what you have completed, reflect, and lay things aside for a fresh start. Know that every effort you have put in this week was worth it. And when […]
Step-by-step is enough
Sometimes taking things step-by-step is all we need to do. There’s no need to place so much pressure on yourself to perform, keep up, or to be present in the room. Sometimes, you’re right where God wants you to be. Taking things step-by-step can be a breeze for you. It can add the right value […]
The sanctity of rest
It is important that in all we do to take rest. Whatever way you do take rest, it is important that we stop, rest, reflect, and take time to look at one another and to love on each other. “In six days the Lord made heaven and Earth, the seas and all that in them […]
Breakfast for Dinner: Fluffy Buttered Pancakes
“Breakfast for Dinner” is sort of a thing in our house, and today seemed like the perfect day to bring it back around. With the rain and calm in the house, we settled in on the cozy of the day, all with the perfect ending and one of my husband’s favorite things: fluffy buttered pancakes. […]
Substitutions Likely: My Coffee Crumble Cake!
I made my first coffee crumble cake today! My recipe calls for sour cream, and I was a little short, but I made do with what I had! As a baker, you learn how to stretch what you do have and make proper substitutions when necessary. I had so much fun making this cake. My […]
Still committed to achieving your goals?
What goals have you committed to achieving for yourself this year? There is still time to achieve them! You may be uncertain about the environment. You may worry if you’re even ready. There may be several questions that you may have. One thing you do know the answer to is your desire to achieve your […]
My favorite things
I have always been a natural planner, organizer, and journalist, and having a new journal book, calendar or planner has always brought me #joy. Receiving my latest planner in the mail today has brought me both joy and peace. As I follow God’s pattern to accomplishing, I’ll continue to use these tools and natural gifts […]
Enjoying life’s gifts
This evening I explored some Ginger Peach tea that I’d stored in my cabinet. I’d been holding onto it because it had been gifted to me, but hadn’t yet used it because I find that gifts given to me are often viewed as sentimental to me. But for some reason, tonight I wanted tea and […]
Being Effective in God’s Pattern
I thank the Lord for helping me find #obedience, #clarity, and #joy today. From start to finish, God challenged me to respond to His voice and to complete things in His way today. He encouraged me and reminded me of my commitment to Him every step of the way so that I would see clarity […]
Committing to God’s Pattern
Today I was able to accomplish goals by being committed to God’s pattern. In accomplishing those goals, it felt really great. Not only was there time for work, but there was also time for home, myself, and family. That is why staying committed to God’s pattern is so important to me: so that I successfully […]
When God says, “Cast your cares”
When God says to cast your cares upon Him, He really does mean it. This isn’t a conversation of how rough or tough things are, but it is one of discovering a weight that can be lifted. When a good friend tells you, “Don’t worry about it – I’ll handle it,” do you let them […]
Movement Forward
The next step in your journey often only takes one thing: movement forward. Tonight, I took that very important step that was necessary to activate the change I had petitioned God for earlier this year. I’m seeing that God is allowing those things to come to be and therefore motivating me to get it done. […]
Keeping full focus
Sometimes when you are in the home stretch, you just want to be finished. But keeping your focus on your time, energy, and end goal will help you clear the path for finishing with a job well-done. While we surely look forward to completion, we will be even happier with the results of action What […]
Clear vision leads to purpose
Right now I am thankful for the Lord’s vision that is leading me to accomplish goals. Following God’s lead is how things will get done and how results will manifest themselves. I found myself trying to work through the parameters of a task. But with the Lord’s vision, I’ve been around to clearly see what’s […]
