If you’re like me, you’re cautious with the “worldly” perspective of “self“ help books and materials. Many come from a perspective that I don’t share, calling upon the “power of the universe,“ rather than the Creator of the universe, God Himself. As a believer, we have to be choosy with what we allow to seep… Continue reading “ Self”- Help, In -Tandem

Strong. Firm. Steadfast.
“And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast.” 1 Peter 5:10 The good news is, our suffering is not eternal. There is an expiration date on our problems, even if… Continue reading Strong. Firm. Steadfast.
Fueling Up
“ Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the water, and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Come buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me and eat what is… Continue reading Fueling Up
Morning Pages
For the last few years, every morning, my alarm goes off at 5 AM. It’s not that it takes me an exceptionally long time to get ready for work, it’s that I have things to do before my things to do. I get down to the business of mindset work and study first thing in… Continue reading Morning Pages
Fruitfulness to Come: Abiding In Him
Abiding in Him means to remain in Him. He is the one who produces the fruit in our lives. It is not through our own power or strength. Of course, He has given us natural gifts, talents and abilities, but the supernatural fruit comes from His source alone. If we want to go above and… Continue reading Fruitfulness to Come: Abiding In Him
Words About Words
From early-on in life, I learned that leaders are readers. It helped that I had an amazing opportunity to learn under the instruction of dedicated, professional teachers like Mary Walker, Donna Underwood, and Ellen Boatright, in my formative, high school years. I went on to study English at Ole Miss under the guidance of some… Continue reading Words About Words
Handing Him the Keys
We are never alone in the waiting. We are not designed to be self-sufficient, lifting ourselves out by our own strength. Our security, our peace, our sufficiency can only be found in one, singular place- in God Himself. We have the Holy Spirit as our helper, placed inside us to confidently face whatever today brings.… Continue reading Handing Him the Keys
Fist Bumping Strangers
Every day I travel to and through some very dangerous neighborhoods, in both larger towns and very rural areas, to do my job. It’s a part of what I do. It is unavoidable. I learned very early on to not be daunted by it, but rather to stand up to fear with an air of… Continue reading Fist Bumping Strangers
Producing Fruitful Change
“Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.” Matthew 3:8 When we have driven off the road carelessly and recklessly, we can easily sit here, blindly sulking, blaming others for our demise. It’s so easy to slip into the thoughts of, “I wouldn’t have driven off the road, if they had not done what they did.” Or… Continue reading Producing Fruitful Change
What Are We Really Craving?
Maybe trying to control my appetite and shed some stress weight has my radar out for all things food; or perhaps God knows that these references will catch my attention in times of physical hunger, but every single day, I am reading scripture that continues to direct my attention to the focus of all things… Continue reading What Are We Really Craving?
