Reflections: Give HER some grace
January 07, 2021 05:00 - 3 minutes - 3.48 MBIn this morning's reflections I am thinking about HER again.

Reflections: There is fear in transition
January 06, 2021 05:00 - 2 minutes - 2.48 MBEvery New Year brings a level of transition. God starts to speak to us about doing new things.

And if we don't overcome that fear, we will miss out on new levels of success from the transition. Links: Join | Partner
Reflections: HER is harder than it sounds
January 05, 2021 05:00 - 4 minutes - 5.47 MBI am working on a new online course for our community. However, as I was working, I started to second guess if I should make the course or not.

In this short reflection, I am reflecting on how "HER" is harder than it sounds, and it will take some practice this year. Links: Join | Partner

January 04, 2021 05:00 - 5 minutes - 6.53 MBAs many of you know, this year we let go of our Daily Word messages. It was something that I wrestled with for a while. In the end I decided to follow what I sensed the Holy Spirit was instructing me to do. In this short reflection, I am reflecting on that decision and I would like you to reflect on the question, what do you need to let go of, so you can make room for the new things God wants you to do.

Getting off the emotional roller coaster of success depression
December 21, 2020 05:00 - 9 minutes - 10.9 MBOne problem I am personally working to overcome is “success depression.” Let me explain. I am a person who goes all out to reach a goal; however, I will feel somewhat depressed until the goal is completed. Once the goal is attained, I am happy again. But here is the real problem: that happiness is short-lived. This is because I will immediately set another goal, and the “success depression” roller coaster will start all over again. Obviously, this is not sustainable. If this feeling so...

November 27, 2020 05:00 - 8 minutes - 9.83 MBNinety-nine percent of the time God gives us partial information about our calling.

We need both Bible and Spirit for guidance
November 19, 2020 05:00 - 12 minutes - 15.3 MBGod has given us two powerful tools to succeed in life and heed our calling.
