Psalm 23 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. It is full of reminders of God’s protection, love and faithfulness. I especially love the verse that reminds us that He restores your soul. What a gift, when the world has gone crazy and we are pulled in too many directions, to know that […]
Making A List
Did you know, making a list helps you accomplish so much more during the day. This is such a good thing to remember, especially when things are busy! Do yourself a favor and keep a paper and pen on hand. True, your list could be made on your phone, but there’s just something wholesome and […]
Forgiveness Is Key
As Christians, forgiveness is key in living a life that pleases God. We must let go of grudges, let go of memories, and let go of the past. This doesn’t mean that we are blind to what we went through, but rather, ideally, we gain wisdom and press on with grace. We have to let […]
Lather, Rinse, Repeat
Lather, rinse, repeat – familiar words often found on a shampoo bottle. I remember hearing them used humorously in a TV show we were watching and they just sort of stuck. I rather see it as representing trying something – be it making or breaking a habit, taking on a new job, or some such, […]
Using Your Talents
Are you using your talents well? This isn’t the time for hiding your light under a bushel, but rather owning your God-given skills to serve Him and others to the best of your ability. Different people have different skills. Some people use a screwdriver like it is an extension of their arm. They zip in […]
Anticipating the New Year
Now that we are well into November, I find myself anticipating the new year. I like to look ahead, ask God what He has for me and consider what opportunities I might want to pursue. It is important to be looking ahead. Considering the future is a really good way to avoid short-sighted mistakes in […]
Healing from Loss
Healing from loss is a blessed relief. No, it’s not the cheeriest topic, but it is something real you will deal with in life. Whether we’re talking about the loss of a friend or the death of a loved one, heartache is hard, but God is with us every step of the way. I guess […]
A Winning Attitude
A winning attitude will take you far in life. No matter what might occur, what road blacks you might face, keep your focus on God and expect the best. There is this phrase I’ve heard and it is “not tired of winning“. What if more people took that attitude? What if more people encouraged themselves […]
Something Better
It all started out as a bit of a joke. I confess I can have a corny sense of humor. There was a business that we were working with and they had a slogan, “Something Good”. Things didn’t go smoothly, there was a bit of a hassle, but we parted ways amicably enough. But instead […]
Living Your Best Life
Are you living your best life? Remarkable and adventurous lives are built on remarkable and adventurous decisions, surrounded by sound wisdom. Do you ever look at another person and think they have it made? Perhaps they have a dream job (be it motherhood or a boutique owner), drive a nice car, and have a lovely […]
