As I came out of yesterday, I’d worked a lot to finish some of my goals – and to stay on schedule with what I had planned for today. As I experienced the morning sunlight in our home, the Lord encouraged me to simply enjoy the day as it happens. Don’t force it. Allow what […]
I have the PEACE of the Lord!
Say it: “I have the peace of the Lord!” This is more than motivational. This is a statement of impact, of value, and of truth. This means no matter the distraction, discomfort, or circumstance, God is with us. In all of our going and doing, it is easy for us to become weighted down with […]
Keeping a steady focus and staying motivated
Staying focused and motivated to accomplish that which you set out to do will help you meet your goals. Each day’s “task list” may look a little different, but the work thereof is still necessary and relevant to help get you to your goals. Setting goals and milestones along the way is important: it helps […]
Be Confident in Your Abilities
Often times, we underestimate ourselves and our ability to get things done because of the actions of others and how they have made us feel. But, God has gifted you with talents, abilities, and resources. Those who question and underestimate your ability, it is they themselves who will miss out on the blessings and benefits […]
Building Blocks
Once we get started on something new, we don’t have to feel overwhelmed or feel as though we don’t measure up to the place we started. We just have to remember one thing: building blocks.

Things of Value
Calling my thoughts into submission. Maintaining the given structure. Being intent about seeing things through to completion. These core things are some of my recent valuable implementations. For me, these are things that make an impact, and that impact helps me in my approach to things and in my living. These are the things that […]
Letting God Be Our Holy Motivation
Let God be your Holy Motivation – to new experiences, new ways, and a new thought process. Seeing and hearing things God’s way is the only perspective we should see. And amid all circumstances, He will craft and motivate us to find that place of clarity – even if we have to push through. I […]
A Prayer of Relief
In You, O God, we find a safe and hiding place. This season has been heavy. Lord, help us with our heaviness. We come to you with our weariness, burdens, and grief. Help us with our hopelessness. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but we know You hold tomorrow. We know that you are gentle […]
The Right Environment is Conducive to Growth
Over the past few months I’d been trying to restart my garden. In years passed, I’ve had a garden that has grown many things, and I have always enjoyed doing so. Pepper plants have always been one of my favorites because they produce flavorful fruit relatively quickly. They’re a plant that keeps on producing. After […]
