The Makings of a Miracle
♥ 12 MIN READ- If I’m honest this topic caught me by surprise. I wasn’t planning on writing about this because my miracle isn’t “finished yet.” At the beginning of this year, God promised me something that I have been progressing toward, believing for, and praying. It is almost December and I’m still here. Honestly, it feels premature to speak on this, but I’ve learned when God tells you to talk, you do what you’re told. We all want miracles. They are exciting moments when heaven touches earth, the hair raises on our arms, our pulse races and God takes our breath away. Who doesn’t want an experience like…

The Science of Falling Away Pt. 1
♥ 9 MIN READ- I’m not sure where you are in the world but where I am, fall is here. I am sitting here wrapped in my blanket, sipping my pumpkin spice chai latte and watching the leaves change color. And it’s making me think. What is it that you want this fall? I think by the time fall rolls around most of the world is ready to transform. We’re looking at our year and deciding to fall away from some things and draw closer to others. Are you falling away from anything? I can tell you I am falling away from doubting God and leaning into believing He…

Storytime: Hindering Tendencies
♥ 11 MIN READ- Many business and life coaches say, “Show me your habits, and that’ll show why you are or aren’t successful.” Well, I believe examining your tendencies will show you the life you are creating because our tendencies either build or destroy the life we say we want. It’s pretty clear that I value self-examination, but I don’t see that the power is necessarily in me looking and thinking about my life. I’m smart and I believe I would eventually come to some astounding conclusions but the time and energy that would take- SHEESH! I’m all for working hard, but God’s given us the grace to…

4 Distractions That Delay Fulfillment
Do you love your life? That was the question I was asked. (Lol so don’t just think I’m over here asking you questions. I get them too.) This is one of those questions it’s so easy to quickly answer, but I tried to sit with it. Think about it and answer honestly. “Yes, I love my life, but I don’t think I always take the time to enjoy it.” This year God promised me a whirlwind life that was beyond my wildest dreams, and boy did He deliver. There is nothing in my life that I specifically asked for, but everything is what I wanted. I love it, but…

Learning God’s Love Language
Today I want to have a conversation about love. This is how God kicked it off with me so I’ll do the same for you. He said ” I want to change the love you perceive and receive. My love can transform you.” And this made me realize that I didn’t truly understand what love looked like from God. It makes me wonder if I didn’t understand it, I probably haven’t fully received it so how could I possibly give it? I realized how much my perspective and expectation of love have been altered by my experience with love. But that’s out of order my expectation should feed my…

The Casulty of Compromise
How have you compromised yourself? The question hit my chest like a sniper bullet. I didn’t see it coming and the impact was substantial. When I heard it I knew I was going to have to take a hard look at myself and get some things together. I honestly thought that the journey to this month’s blog and this episode would be me facing all the things I’ve been doing wrong but what ensued was me seeing myself clearer and gaining the motivation to beast this life that God has given me. I thought focusing on my track record of compromise would beat me down, but it’s built me up…

5 Tips to Overcome the Overwhelming
♥ 15 MIN READ, CLICK TO WATCH OR LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST EPISODE– So this Nancy Drew brain of mine has been great for my career. I mean the kid, but when I forget to turn it off… oh, it backfires. I will inevitably reach a season of my life where I can’t figure out how it all works out, and I know in my heart that God will do it, but that’s not enough evidence for my head to shut off. And the result is being overwhelmed, but this time it’s not that I was overwhelmed by things going wrong, but all the great opportunities I see. It’s exciting,…

Rediscovering Your Origin Story to Live A Limitless Life
♥ 15 MIN READ, CLICK TO WATCH OR LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST EPISODE– If you know anything about my Father then you know I am the daughter of a comic book aficionado so I inherited a love of Marvel movies. (DC is good too but Marvel is where it’s at.) These epic tales showcase people who harness amazing abilities and face insurmountable odds to be victorious. Well, usually, Endgame was depressing. The victory was a bit delayed but they got it together in the next one. Anyway, when you watch these movies or hear the stories it seems so exciting to be this regular-degular person living a normal life,…

The Blessing of Self Sabotage
♥ 13 MIN READ, CLICK TO WATCH OR LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST EPISODE– A few weeks ago during a much-needed laugh-talk-brunch session, I was telling one of my friends that it’s almost like I can see God shifting things into place and I’m excited but it’s also nerve-wracking to feel the proximity of the promises I’ve been waiting and hoping for. Let me be real with yal. It feels like I’m standing on a beach and a tidal wave is surging toward me. Have you been in a season like this? Are you here now? (If so thank you so much for the company.) If you’re unsure let…

Four Ways We Make Our Gift A Curse
♥ 12 MIN READ, CLICK TO WATCH OR LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST EPISODE– My eldest sister (or the 1st born as she calls herself) reminded me of something my grandfather used to say that his father told him. He would say your gifts will help you, but they’ll also hurt you. See, he knew his gifts were a blessing, but sometimes they felt like a curse. I loved my grandfather dearly (he was my person), but I don’t think he ever found his way past this point, and I doubt my great-grandfather did either. They stopped at the painful part of the process and accepted it as the reality…
