Partnership with God

Principle to Tap Into ⇨ STEWARD + TRUST There’s something important to understand before we go any further… Because everything we’re about to talk about—seasons, growth, harvest… can be approached in a few different ways. You can look at life and think: “It’s all up to me.” or “It’s all out of my control.” ButContinue reading “Partnership with God”

What Season Are You In?

 Principle to Tap Into ⇨ DISCERN BEFORE YOU DECIDE There’s a verse in the Old Testament that has always stood out to me: “…the men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do…” —1 Chronicles 12:32 (NIV) I love that. 👉 They didn’t just understand the times…👉 they knew how toContinue reading “What Season Are You In?”

The Four Seasons of Life

Principle to Tap Into ⇨ A.I.M. — APPROPRIATE IN THE MOMENT There’s a verse that has become more meaningful to me the older I get: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” —Psalm 90:12 (NIV) And I’ve found myself asking… What does that actually look like? Not justContinue reading “The Four Seasons of Life”

The Step of A Righteous Person: When You’re Not Sure Which Direction To Take

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ Have you ever stood at the beginning of something…and felt completely stuck? Not because you don’t care—but because it feels overwhelming. Too many moving parts. Too many decisions. Too many unknowns. So instead of moving forward…you freeze. ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ The Promise We Forget For the follower of Christ, there’s a promise: “The steps of aContinue reading “The Step of A Righteous Person: When You’re Not Sure Which Direction To Take”

Use the Resources You Have

One principle I’ve returned to again and again in my journey of seeking Peace with Food has been this: Use the resources you have. This principle showed up often during that season, and when Peace with Food was published in 2015, it even had a chapter all its own. (Page 194 for any of youContinue reading “Use the Resources You Have”

One Source – Everything Else Is Just A Resource

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned during what I call my “perfect storm” these past few years is this: I’ve come to see there is ONE true Source. Everything else in my life functions as a resource. For me, that Source is God. “Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, whoContinue reading “One Source – Everything Else Is Just A Resource”

An Invitation for Every Season

So where are you in the journey from acorn to oak? Are you just beginning — an acorn ready to be planted? A seedling or sapling? Or are you further along — roots deep, branches wide, offering shade to others? Wherever you are, Scripture speaks to you. If You’re Young — Plant Early, Nurture, &Continue reading “An Invitation for Every Season”

Contentment in Your Current Season – How to Stay Present Where You Currently Are

It seems like a universal human tendency: When you’re young, you dream of being older… and when you’re older, you long for parts of being young. So how do we actually live in the present instead of constantly wishing for a different season? Here’s the best strategy I’ve found: g r a t e fContinue reading “Contentment in Your Current Season – How to Stay Present Where You Currently Are”

Let the Redeemed Tell Their Story

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.” —Psalm 107:2 (NIV) I know I’ve shared pieces of this in previous posts, but I feel so compelled to tell the story of the freedom I’ve experienced in Christ. Maybe it’s because this has been a 40+ yearContinue reading “Let the Redeemed Tell Their Story”
