I used to be stuck in a cycle of seeing everything that was wrong, then I decided to open my eyes to everything that was right. I used to try to do all the things I thought were “right” that would create the results I wanted, but I constantly felt like I messed up, fell …

Trust and Receive.
Do you trust God? Do you receive His gifts? We build trust. We choose to believe, have faith, before we have the evidence of what we hope for. (Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.) I was talking with a friend recently about how I …
Control Issue
When my life feels out of sorts and like I just can’t get a hold of things, kind of out of control, it becomes easy for me to become judgmental or to start trying to tell other people what they should do to improve their lives, in an effort to make myself “feel” better. It …
Are You Tired of Worrying?
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Instead, seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Luke 12:25, 31 God keeps gently reminding me to TRUST Him more. TRUST in all things. In all circumstances and situations. He is reminding me in my soul as I am …
Do you have a pleasing aroma?
What fragrance does your life exude? Do you embody faith? Do you embody trust in God in all things? Does your faith draw people closer to God or repel them from God?

The Soul Felt Its Worth
Do you know your worth? Do you feel you have worth? Do you agree with God about your worth? Jesus came to bring us gifts. The gifts of life, love, peace, hope, joy, salvation, freedom, worth, and value to name a few. Do you receive His gifts? Do you accept them as your own? Or …
Practice believing.
We all want someone else to be kind to us, to believe in us, to support us, and encourage us, and tell us we are doing a good job. To include us and make us feel good about ourselves. And that is great if we have it. But I want to ask you, are you …
Orientation. Disorientation. Reorientation.
When I heard/learned about orientation, disorientation, reorientation in November of 2016, it was life changing for me. It was in a podcast, Rob Bell’s RobCast Wisdom # 9. It released the Thursday after the Tuesday 2016 Presidential Election if I remember correctly. Rob and Pete Rollins discussed what the country was going through and shared …
