Yikes! Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! How did we get here so quickly. We are entering the Holiday Season, and we all know what that means. In a flash, our To Do list has quadrupled. How can we avoid the overwhelm, or if you are already there… how can we overcome it? Join us for Step 1 of 4 steps we can take to Overcome the Overwhelm.
Read MoreAs believers, we are followers of Christ. I mean the very term Christian reveals that. And as believers, we are also to be leaders. We are to become like Christ and He was indeed a leader. It is important to know when to lead and when to follow. Let’s talk about it…
Read MoreWhile we are creating a comfy and cozy existence for ourselves, the world is out there going to hell. If we are honest, we are comfortable with it. We have turned off the news, avoid the dangerous areas of town, and do nothing to share Jesus with the lost. Do you think we are supposed to sit back, stay in our comfort zone, and just watch it happen? Or is there something we are supposed to do?
Read MoreThe conversation shifted to reveal the frustration that comes from our search for the answers. We want to hear from God, we want to know why, and we need help solving the issues we are walking through. I made a statement that resonated deep within some of the women. “We aren’t to run to Jesus for the answers, we are to come to Him who is The Answer.” Insert mind blown emoji. Are you doing the same thing?
Read MoreI can’t get over it. I never want to get over it. This picture is me celebrating. Look closely and you will see the movement in my dress. That is because I am jumping up and down, pumping my fist, and sobbing, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”. I just couldn’t contain my joy over what God had just done.
Read MoreToday I listened to a 20 second clip of Priscilla Shirer that grabbed my attention and I shared it to my social media Stories. She said, “Do you understand that your sons and your daughters, your grandsons and your granddaughters, our great grandchildren that we may never actually lay eyes on… Do you realize that they are counting on you rising up and being who God has called you to be? Do you know that there are whole generational curses that can be broken if you get a handle on your identity.” She didn’t speak nonchalantly; she asked the question passionately. It was like BAM! Who are…
Read MoreDo you lecture or do you lead by example. It started with my children. I would go into their room and over explain why they were in trouble and what they could have done better. Then I carried it into other relationships, feeling the need to explain and re-explain why I said what I said. I also brought it into my leadership, sharing why we can or cannot do something and going back over it again and again to make sure they understood where I was coming from. I was lecturing. Yikes! I hate that. Why lecture? I think I did it (and sometimes still do) because I want you to understand me and know my heart. Grab your magnifying glass, because…
Read MoreIt is so easy to focus on me, do what I think is best, and only worry about my future, my decisions, and my next steps. It is so easy to see my way as the best way and other’s idea as subpar. It is so easy to build my dream and not even consider the dream of others. The only problem is I cannot find the scripture that states, put yourself first – ahead of those you are called to lead.
