LOOK WITHIN ....This week was challenging. While I was life coaching and ministering to others, God showed me something powerful...something we don't always want to face: ourselves ... He reminded me to look within. After listening to so many conflicts in relationships, it was easy to identify what others are doing wrong. We can quickly identify and point out attitudes, selfish behaviors and responses. But God challenged me with a deeper question: You see them, do you see

WE ARE LIVING BETWEEN REDEMPTION AND RESTORATION .....Did you know the Last Supper included more than one cup? Most of us grew up hearing about "the cup" that Jesus shared with His disciples at the Last Supper. What I discovered during my study of Matthew 26 is that they were celebrating what is called the Passover Seder, which is the Jewish traditional order of service for the Passover meal. During this meal there were actually four cups, and each cup represented a promis

PEACE IS POWER...This week, God taught me that I don't have to fight to prove I am right. There were moments this week when I felt misunderstood. Moments when my words were taken wrong and misconstrued. Moments when I wanted to defend myself....to explain, clarify, and correct. God whispered, "You don't have to win every conversation to walk in peace." That hit me. Because sometimes I'm not fighting to be right...I am fighting to be understood. And there is a difference. G

Set Your Face Like Flint…God has Already Gone before You. This week, the Lord woke me up with Isaiah 50:4-9 “The Lord has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary…The Lord will help me; therefore, shall I not be confounded…I have set my face like flint.” As I sat with those words for a moment, I realized something… This is not hype. This is not ego. This is comfort and assurance. God was reminding me that He is

You Can Let Go Without Losing Yourself ... This week God reminded me that letting go is not weakness...it's wisdom. Sometimes we hold on because we see potential. We see what something could be. We imagine how it might grow, how it might change, how it might turn into something beautiful. But here is the lesson: If it's meant for you, it won't require you to shrink to keep it. You won't have to silence yourself, or overextend yourself and you won't have to trade your

LIVE BEYOND THE FOG This week, God reminded me that we often live with a need to be right and make others wrong. In doing so, we don't realize it, but we begin to live in a fog...a fog that limits our spiritual visibility and restricts our ability to see beyond. But here's the truth God showed me...The fog is not real. When the fog lifts, what we actually see is clarity. We see ourselves... the real self... unyielding and unwilling to consider another perspective. Script

How To Be Soft and Strong at the Same Time This isn't about personality at all. This is about formation. This week, God showed me that softness doesn't mean weakness and strength doesn't have to be loud...and I can be kind without giving pain permission to access me. I can love people without chasing them, looking for acceptance, and I can stay tender and still choose distance. Being soft means my heart is still alive. I still care. I still pray and I still feel. I jus

The Places We Hide Are The Places God Wants To Heal. I learned something this week that shook me with real truth. God cannot heal the version of us we pretend to be. He can only heal the version we actually are. And many of us have mastered the art of hiding...hiding pain, disappointment, fear, rejection, and the quiet ache of feeling overlooked. We hide because we think if people see our cracks, they will walk away. Or we think admitting our fears means we are failing or no
