Sometimes life can be overwhelming. It’s the holiday season and every day for the next few weeks has been taken up with things to do. Let’s admit it. We are human, and not everything goes the way we plan. We can have a plan to get everything done, but sometimes that plan goes out the window with complications knocking at…

Last week was Thanksgiving, and we were able to at some point reflect on all of the things we were thankful for. But I wonder, at any point in your life have you ever truly thanked God for yourself? Have you thanked God for creating you, and all of the things that make you who you are? Have you thanked…

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” ~ Colossians 3:17 Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and I am sure I am not the only one thinking about what it means to be thankful. As we know, Thanksgiving is…

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” ~ Hebrews 11:6 God expects us to expect Him.

There have been seasons in my life when I have felt completely and utterly alone: Friends that I have become so close to suddenly felt so far away, and it would feel as though even my own relatives could never understand how I was feeling. Looking back on these times I am now so thankful for them, as I have…

Let me ask you, do you regularly believe the best about yourself, or do you focus on all the things you cannot do…? Years ago I had to learn that if you are always undervaluing who you are, and overevaluating…

I’ve been writing the Monday Motivator for over ten years, and honestly it is one of the greatest joys and pleasures in my life. I love being able to encourage and help people start off their weeks knowing they are wrapped in God’s love and protection. This morning as I went to write this week’s Monday Motivator I felt inspired…

‘Tiss the season… the season right before the temperature drops and so does everyone’s immune systems, or so it seems. Already I am seeing more and more people in line for the doctor, and several versions of Vitamin C packets on sale all across the country. Every time someone says that it is flu season, cold season, or any type…
