Rest for Renewal. Over the past few days, the Lord has allowed me to experience rest and time of reflection and calm with Him. In rest, God told me to just be at peace as He leads me into this next space. Go. Now. As I completed my Bible reading today, I sat in a […]

Funny how God motivates you.
Funny how God motivates you. In the past few days I haven’t been feeling well at all. I’ve been exhausted and have been experiencing some nerve strain. So, needless to say, I’ve only been interested in keeping my movements and load pretty light. After sleeping for a few hours today, I decided I was going […]
Let God Write Your Story
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.

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. When you start, you are laying the foundation. There will be different experiences throughout the many phases of the building […]
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 […]
