It’s Time you Lose your Mind!
Your mind can be your greatest enemy or your greatest asset towards transformation! I confess, I often look to someone else’s success and feel my own isn’t good enough. But when I notice this happening, instead of getting caught up in the negativity, I pay attention to “why and what” I’m feeling. Awareness is the first…
Rabbit Trails & First Loves
I asked God to speak a word to me, then opened up my Message Bible to a place I last left off half a year ago. Jeremiah 170 {gulp!} Already knew it wasn’t going to be an encouraging read! “Admit Your God Defiance” was one of the nicer subtopics. The gist of the passage was…
Real Faith
Yesterday my faith was rocked. I even wrote a post called “The Unwanted Step-child of God” (yet to be posted,) and I meant every word at the time. It was written out of pure emotion and doubt in God’s love and provision. Seems like that little island where I was resting peacefully just days ago…
Island Living Through Stormy Weather
I used to feel like my life was like living on an uninhabited island in the middle of a big, blue ocean playing a solo game of Survivor. No people, no other land in sight, always working to survive. Just me, the surf, and sand which wasn’t a bad thing when things were peaceful, especially…
The Impenetrable Armor of Self-Protection
The problem with armor is that while it’s meant to self-protect, it often ends up keeping away what we desire most because we forget to take it off. When you’re going into battle, armor is necessary and life-saving. But when the danger has passed, it should be removed. Unfortunately, most people, myself included, become so…
Slow Down so God can Catch Up
Whether you’ve been following me for a while or just discovering what I’m all about, you’ll find the theme of “running hard after your dreams” behind everything I post. And while I fully believe you need to take action towards your dream, there’s also a time when you have to let go and surrender them…
Are you a Dog?
Why do we reward ourselves with food? Because it makes us feel good… until it doesn’t. You’re not a dog, don’t reward yourself with food. Break the old dieting mindset by learning NOT to reward yourself with food. Instead, reward yourself with: 1. a refreshing walk in nature 2. new clothes that fit your…
When You Realize You’re Enough
There’s an underlying lie that permeates everyone’s lives. Even though each person’s lie is personal and tied to a unique event in their young life, these lies always “prove” that we’re not enough. It might whisper in your ear that you’re not smart enough, not rich enough, not talented enough, not pretty enough, not good…
Kings River Kayaking Adventure
Just two and a half hours from Tulsa flows one of Arkansas’ best kept secrets. The Marble to Marshall Ford section of the Kings River rivals the Buffalo River’s beauty and bluffs without the congestion and is sure to please both the experienced and novice kayakers. Full of breathtaking bluffs, cascading waterfalls, hidden caves, and…
A Little Dream Takes Flight
No, this is not another snow storm!! Take a closer look! I did something spontaneous and much needed! I took my own advice and decided to live MY dreams! I’ve been saying for years I want to travel, and I’ve worked hard to build my businesses so I can work from anywhere. So here I…
