Quiet Surrender
As I finished up the Bible app devotional I was reading on ‘Quiet in the Chaos’, it highlighted Genesis 1 as a way to pay attention to nature. As I read through the chapter, I felt myself visibly relax into what I was reading and the intricacies and details it provided as God designed and […]
Keep Showing Up
Have you ever felt like you’ve been handed an assignment or a ‘to do’ from God that does not seem to make sense and you don’t seem to be making any progress? My message for you today is: Keep Showing Up. Keep being faithful in your assignment, no matter what the current results look like. […]
5 Questions to ask before hiring a financial advisor
I’ve been hearing this recently as a reason people don’t pay attention to their finances. The reality is that many of us were specifically taught about finances in school.

Work and Ministry
I shared with you a couple weeks ago that I had launched my faith and financial planning firm. As you may guess, there was a whole lot of questions to God and requesting of confirmation that it was indeed time to do so. One of the days, I had a call with the company that […]
Weary Traveler
This is the title of a song that has been on my heart recently. It’s sung by Jordan St. Cyr, and one I had chosen to use as a part of my church program. The verse of the song that keeps coming to mind is ‘Weary traveler, restless soul.. you were never meant to walk […]

I recently ran into a guy who collects bottles in my neighborhood. I like to talk to people from all walks of life, because I know there is a lot we can all learn from each other. Once he stopped by my home to collect some bottles and I got to talking to him, and […]
Teaching kids about finances
I have a seven year old. She loves to spend. This is not something that has just started. When I took her to the stores when she was younger, she would ask to swipe and sign. She was between 2 and 3. This has not changed. She uttered her first word as we were walking […]
