I’m Loving My Worship Playlist: Kim Walker-Smith from Jesus Culture

In January 2013, Jesus Culture’s Kim Walker-Smith released her newest solo worship album called Still Believe.  When I first listened to it, it didn’t stand out too much.  Yet, for some reason I could not stop listening to it.  I worshiped with it over and over and over again. For about a month, I listened to the songs on […]

How To Cross The Finish Line

Could you imagine working hard for years only to find that you gave up right before your victory?  All that hard work resulted in nothing but a waste of time.  Sure, you might have “learned a lot” along the way, but you never tasted the success you were once driven to see.  What would that life be […]

Get Rid Of The Blues Once And For All

You might call it depression, being down in the dumps, or having the blues.  Whatever you call “it.”  It’s not fun.  That dark cloud feeling hovering over your mind, day and spirit is the worst feeling.  (At least in my opinion.) A few years ago I had that feeling while pregnant the first time.  I […]

7 Life Altering Words

Words are powerful.  Words that are spoken in your head and words that are spoken out loud are powerful.  “You’re hired!”  “Will you marry me?” “I love that outfit on you.”  “Have you lost weight?” “You are looking so great!” Are just a few phrases that can boost your mood or change your life.

How To Calm A Chaotic Life

Chaotic:  A condition or place of great disorder or confusion.  Does that describe your life?  Does that describe your mind?  This morning (actually yesterday morning since I’m posting this the next day) the Lord gave me His fabulous solution to order, peace, and clarity. I woke up expecting to spend time with the Lord (alone).  However, […]

Get That Conference “High”

I don’t think I’m the only one out there that loves a great conference.  Whether it’s a business conference, ministry conference, or personal interest conference, they are inspiring.  From the moment you book your flight, hotel room, and tickets, to the time you actually attend, there’s quite the feeling of excitement and expectation. I’ve attended […]

Sneaking Away With God

Some days are just plain, flat out hard to seek the Lord.  Yet, when we find just a few moments to sneak away and sit in His presence, He always shows up.  Finding the times to seek the Father’s face will result in intimacy, deepened relationship, and a heart that is filled to overflowing.  Sneaking […]

The Cry: 3 Steps Towards Impactful Leadership

What do you do when you hear a baby cry? I guess it depends on where you are.  If you’re in a grocery store you might give a “aww, how cute.”  But if you’re in an airplane, you might be ready to crawl out of your skin.  Your attitude at the time of the cry […]

One Secret To Changing Your Day Into A Great One

Some days we wake up not wanting to go to work, get out of bed, be a mom, or tackle the “to-dos” of life.  If you aren’t experiencing that feeling today, you’ve most likely experienced it some time.  That feeling doesn’t have to stay that way.  In fact, by implementing one secret tool that I […]
