The Year I Needed to Endure

The Year I Needed to Endure

We’re in the final days of 2016, and it feels good. Christmas is just days away and then we’ll be celebrating the new year. I don’t know about you, but this has been a particularly hard year for me. Going into 2016, I thought it would be the year that many of my hopes and dreams would come true. I had been pursuing the things I thought were important. I firmly believed I was honoring God with my life, and I still believe I was. But even so – even with my best intentions, the past year turned out to…

Recognizing and Embracing My Influence in the Everyday

Back in 2014, at the Allume blogging conference, I attended a breakout session called Being a Trailblazer given by Anne F. Downs. In it, she spoke about investing in the next generation. I laughed, I cried, and it seemed everything she said resonated with me. That’s because I have always had a heart for youth ministry. The funny thing is that although I felt called at a young age to work with teens, I have never actually done it.

The Both/And of Superabundantly More

As we took that last familiar turn up the hill, my heart longed to go straight. I wanted to head in the back way, past my favorite strip of ocean blue and grab a glimpse of the iconic green cottage that marked my “peace place on a summer evening.” Peace was what I really craved, especially before entering into the furry of emotions the weekend would hold.

So Long Captivity, It's Time to Live Free

It’s Time to Live Free

As I listened to her unpack the sticky dynamics of her situation, I couldn’t help but want to lunge through the phone to solve her problem. I got it . . . I knew what she was living through. Our circumstances might be different, but the way we processed our experiences were nearly the same. While advice-giving words were on the tip of my tongue, the Lord gently forced me back into my desk chair. He firmly reminded that my job as her life coach was to give her the space to get to the “ah ha” moment that leads…

We are all uniquely made!

What does it mean to “Live Original”?

I’m sure that the woman sitting behind me in church on Sunday morning must have thought I was a bobble head on the dashboard of her car. I couldn’t help but to nod repeatedly in agreement as the pastor preached his way through a sermon series on being a game changer. He began his message with a timely question: If the Christian life was an Olympic Sport, would you view it as an individual or team sport? Great question, don’t you think? But let me take this a step further: Regardless of whether you see yourself as being on a team or playing solo in…
