Why is Obedience so Difficult?
Sometimes when God is working on our hearts and speaking to us, we hear it through songs and messages. Lately, when I’ve watched Crazy Faith by Michale Todd and read the bible, the message has been clear. “Be patient, don’t rush things, and wait in expectation.” That has been his message to me the last…
Read MoreLetting Go: Drifting Away with Dementia
The other night I had a vivid dream of holding onto a balloon that my 19-year-old daughter was holding on to. It was a bright sunny day, and they both were flying high in the sky. I was watching her soar and enjoy the ride, then something happened. I’m not sure why, but I let…
Read MoreWas Terah or Abraham Called to the Promised Land?
That’s the question I had after reading Genesis 11. Now I’m no biblical scholar, but my thoughts are gleaned from the various sources I found. I share my thoughts as a starting point to encourage you to do your own study on the subject. “Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran,…
Read MoreLosing Weight While Eat Out
How do you eat out when you’re on a health plan and trying to lose weight? Health is not about starving or depriving yourself of what you love. It’s about rethinking why you eat what you eat and making smart choices about what you put in your mouth. All that starts with changing you’re relationship…
Read MoreIs there Purpose in Suffering? A Perspective from Hagar
I don’t know why some of us have more of our fair share of trials and troubles in this world than others, even when we are following God and doing all the right things. I admit sometimes when I’m in the thick of it, my faith is shaken and I question not only God’s purpose…
Read MoreAre you a Failure like Clarence the Guardian Angel?
As I turned on “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the first time this season to nurse my hurting heart after some recent professional and personal “rejections,” I hoped to refocus my thoughts to see all the blessings in my life, not all my failures over the last several decades. I never imagined that God might…
Read MoreDo you Stress to Impress?
I can’t begin to explain this amazing transformational journey I’ve been on the last 7 years. So many scales skewing my vision of myself and the world are slowly falling away. Who knew there were so many layers! The most recent realization came last night in a seminar which uncovered how we humans seek to…
Read MoreCommunity Accountability is Key to Success
I have a confession to make! Even though I’m a health coach, I’m human and struggle just like my clients. But it’s my clients and my health family that keep me accountable to what I want for my health and life! Community accountability is key to success. Why are some people more successful in their…
Read MoreIt’s a Wonder Wife: Is Mary the Real Hero?
I remember watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the first time in my cousin’s living room alone as a preteen. I’m not sure where everyone else was, maybe asleep, but I was so deeply touched and related to George Bailey, that it became my favorite movie instantly. Now as a divorced woman in my 50s…
Read MoreHealthy Habits Transform, Not Diets!
This is my amazing coach who introduced me to the health program I’m on. She lost 82 lbs., but gained so much more. Here’s what she had to say: Most people see the space that’s no longer in the pants. That’s what they focus on. I want to point out what you don’t see: You…
