Know Yourself
How well do you know yourself? A key process of capturing His vision for your ministry relates to the refinement of knowledge. Proverbs 13:16 says “The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” One of the most important types of knowledge you can process […]
2 Reason’s Your Church Is Not Growing
John Maxwell once shared with me the importance of finding something you are so passionate about doing that you would do it for free. The end result is that you will eventually get compensated for it. I have found this to be true in my personal life. Since my early 20’s God has provided unique opportunities for me to […]
Stop
At Catalyst Jim Collins spoke about having a stop doing list. I like that. For many years I have worked with a day planner to help me be a good steward of all that God has given me. I love using my Living On Purpose planner and continue to get feedback about how it is […]
The HeartBeat of God
My husband was just singing an old song by Kool & the Gang called “Celebration” with lyrics “There’s a party going on right here, a celebration to last throughout the year. So bring your good times and your laughter too, were gonna celebrate and party with you!” This reminds me of Luke 15:7 and the big party in heaven every-time ONE […]

This month I spoke at a conference for women. The messages were prepared in advance…just the way I prefer. Then wouldn’t you know it? The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and at the last minute the topic was changed. I spoke on the main thing. The purpose God had in the beginning. The purpose […]

6AM Lunch Run
This morning I had to make a run to the local grocer to get stuff for the boys’ school lunches. I can’t believe they like what I pack better than getting something at school but they claim to. The boys don’t usually wake until 6:45 to get ready for school. Today they realized I was […]
First Check
Today I got my first check from a bookstore for the Living On Purpose day planner and organizer. I was excited and even did a little impromptu dance for Todd when I came in with the mail. Most have sold off my website but there is something about making a book feel validated when it is purchased from […]
God and the Wall Street Crisis
Everyone agrees that America is facing the greatest financial crisis since the Depression. No matter what your financial status, the outcome will affect you in a major way. These changes are going to rock your world one way or another. This hit to the economy has the potential of stealing your security. Think about this…”If your security […]
Benefit of the Doubt
Yesterday one of my boys had to stay home from school due to asthma related illness. When the other son heard that his brother got to stay home from school he immediately said “I think I’m sick too.” This son does not have asthma so I doubted. He also loves to stay home from school […]
