Mary OR Martha?
As I was just praying what to share and came across two devotions back to back on this passage, I guess I will pause here. Are you a Mary or a Martha based on the story that is traditionally told? The Martha’s of the world tend to be the ones who are consistently doing. They […]
Seeing Closed Doors as a Gift?
Don’t you hate when doors are closed in front of you? I was reading a devotion this morning and it talked about when some doors were closed, many times unexpectedly, and you started worrying about what you would do next. Sometimes, we are ready for these chapters/doors to be closed. But oftentimes, it catches us […]
God’s Planning Supersedes Mine
Have you ever been nervous or anxious about something you know God has already promised to take care of for you? That’s where I found myself a few days ago. You know how I like to plan, and as I’m planning for where I am and where I think I need to be, I started […]
Lessons From My Adventures
Happy Fourth of July! This week, I had the pleasure of going on some adventures, and I want to share with you some of the brief lessons. 1. On our way to our first stop, we left later than we anticipated and stopped more frequently than we planned. We thought we knew approximately how long […]
Chase God, Not Goals
In my very early days of starting to write, I kept coming across this verse of scripture: Matthew 6:33 NIV ‘But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.’ I’ve since added verse 34 ‘Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about […]

Friendships
It seems this has been the theme for this week in and outside of my household. My daughter is navigating eight year old girl friendships, and, needless to say, sometimes it can be not so fun. She shared with me a challenge she was having and as I know it’s my job to help her, […]
Celebrate the Win
A few days ago, I hit a work anniversary: two years of being an independent financial advisor. As I sat in my quiet time, I truly marveled at the work that God has been doing in my life. The way He has been able to combine my love for educating people on their finances, with […]
Consistency
This morning I opened my Bible app at it said I had consistently opened the app for 400 days! I have never made this accomplishment. Usually, life would happen, and I’d somehow forget to open it after 150 days. So, for me, this is huge. There’s another metric next to the days. It says: 173 […]
Is it the Right Time?
This morning, I seem to be thinking of ‘Time’. I ended my journaling time, asking God to do what I believe He has promised, but this morning, I surprised even myself. I asked Him not to do the thing, if it’s not the right time. You see, even the best things, under the wrong circumstances […]
