Use What You Have
‘Use what you have’… These words have been on my mind for the last few weeks. I tend to want to solve something by going out and getting the next thing. Lately, I’ve been feeling like the Lord is calling me to slow down. I really thought I had slowed down significantly over the last […]
Childlike Faith
I’ve noticed something recently with my daughter. For me, it’s funny and frustrating all at once. She asks for things frequently, as do most children her age. The thing that I’ve observed with her though is once she’s asked me once or twice if I don’t flat out say ‘no’, even if I haven’t said […]
Be Kind Anyway
This week there seemed to be a theme of choosing to be kind throughout my week. I texted my spiritual mom about two instances where I had shown kindness about circumstances that I knew were beyond my own capacity. Choosing to show up a certain way, even though my natural inclination was not that. A […]

Guard Your Thoughts
This week was filled with lessons, so much so that I had a difficult time choosing which to share. Maybe it’s ‘recency bias’ but I settled on sharing something that happened yesterday, but I now realize that something similar had happened earlier this week. I’ve had a thought for the last few months. It may […]
‘I’ve Been Through This Before’
This was the title of my pastor’s sermon ‘I’ve been through this before’. What an incredible message and reminder. He set the stage using Joseph’s time in prison. In Genesis 40, Joseph helped decipher the cup bearer’s dream. After he explains what the dream means and that all would end well, Joseph had one request: […]
Will You Say ‘Yes’?
This season of my life amazes me. I shared with you last week about how the more I’ve felt called into a life of ‘Walking in Obedience’, the more God has done with it. http://edx.kwi.mybluehost.me/obey-god-and-leave-the-consequences-to-him/ This week I received a message from someone I had previously been connected with through...
‘Obey God and Leave The Consequences to Him’
Seven years ago, I asked for God to do something different in my life. I had been a baptized Christian for about sixteen years prior to that, but in that moment, I asked God to truly lead my life. I can now look back and say God must have said ‘ahhhh, now we can do […]
Bumpy Roads Can Lead to Beautiful Destinations
For Spring Break, we visited the beautiful island of Jamaica. As we were making plans to go, there were some things that were high on my excursion lists. One of the places my mom wanted to go was a Beach that we had both gone to in the past, and were waiting with bated breath […]
Your Investment in Your Financial Goals
One of the things I often enjoy talking to my clients are: how to reach their goals. Whenever someone chooses to work with me, it’s because they recognize that they need help in their financial lives. Sometimes when we start talking, they may think it’s one set of goals, but the more we talk and […]
