Practicing the Art of Adventure

Practicing the Art of Adventure

What does it look like to practice the art of adventure? Well according to life coach Charissa Steyn, Practicing the Art of Adventure looks like this: A woman who is Practicing the Art of Adventure in her daily life-stepping into the unknown, embracing change, trusting Him, leaving fear, and loving extravagantly, all the while, traveling deeper into God’s heart. It’s Charissa’s desire to encourage all of us to step in adventure, no matter what season of life we may find yourself in. She says, “May you see that everyday is an opportunity to practice the art of adventure as you abide with Jesus.” Join…

Sometimes we have to look back to grow forward.

Looking Back to Grow Forward

Were you the type of girl who made vows about how you were going to do that a whole lot differently when you grew up?

We compare ourselves to a perception of reality, whether it’s a desire to be thin-boned instead of big-boned, a fashionista instead of fashion disaster, poised and articulate instead of stumbling through our words. We want those well behaved children instead of the ones climbing up the walls behind us. We’d like their square-footage, perfect for hosting fab parties, instead of the coziness of our own humble abode. But what if we stopped to think about what else goes along…

New Year, New You: Start with Prayer

It’s the New Year, so of course everyone is talking about resolutions and fresh new beginnings. It’s as though there is something magically about the calendar changing digits. Isn’t that ironic since yesterday’s problems seem to always worm their way into today’s reality. We long for fresh starts. We long for clean slates.
