Do you ever wonder why you’re here—or what your unique mission in life might be? That question intrigues me so much, because deep down we all know we are here for a purpose. It’s something at the very core of who we are: a God-given longing to understand why our life matters. Out of myContinue reading “Discovering Your Sacred Mission”

Why On Earth Am I Here?
I once heard Billy Graham asked, “What surprises you most about life?” His answer has stuck with me ever since: “The brevity of life.” Life is short. And it makes me pause and ask: Why am I here? Why are we all here? I believe the answer is this: we were created for a divineContinue reading “Why On Earth Am I Here?”
The Easiest Person To Fool
Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard Feynman once said: “The first principle is not to fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.” When I first read that quote, I knew he was talking about science, but what struck me most was the deep spiritual truth it revealed. Over this past year, I’ve been walking throughContinue reading “The Easiest Person To Fool”
When Life Shatters, Perspective Matters
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about friends, family, and others who have experienced life-shattering moments. The kind that changes everything in an instant (or even over time). A diagnosis or accident. A loved one taken too soon. A betrayal. A loss. A dream gone. A relationship severed. Moments like these shake us to ourContinue reading “When Life Shatters, Perspective Matters”
You Can Be Free
We all have defining moments. Sometimes it’s a single event; other times it’s a turning point that sets us on a new path. For me, one of those moments came my freshman year of college at Oral Roberts University.

Greater Truth vs. Lesser Truth
There’s a powerful distinction in the Christian life that changes everything once you see it: ⬆️The Greater Truth — The ultimate truth. Who God is and what God says. ⬇️ The Lesser Truth — Our own personal truth. Our situation, thoughts, and feelings. Our current circumstances. While both are realities, The Greater Truth supersedes andContinue reading “Greater Truth vs. Lesser Truth”
💗What Your Words Reveal About Your Heart
“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt Ouch. That quote can be very convicting. Every so often it’s a good practice to examine and evaluate ourselves. 2 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV) says, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize thatContinue reading “💗What Your Words Reveal About Your Heart”
Okay for ME, but NOT for YOU…
I am hard on my kids. Too hard, a lot of times, which always makes me regret it once I stop and think about how I’m treating them. Instead of choosing my battles, I decide to take on every battle! That is what SUPERMOM is all about, right? Keeping a tight leash on your kidsContinue reading “Okay for ME, but NOT for YOU…”
Are You Prayin’ About It?
Last night I was lying in bed thinking about a couple of things. This was sMaLL stuff–you know–like how I was going to get everything done this week, if I had enough activities planned for the kids this summer, and if I was going to get the stain out of those tan pants :-/ AllContinue reading “Are You Prayin’ About It?”
Our Twist On the Advent Calendar
One tradition our families have begun includes that of celebrating the arrival of Christmas with an Advent Calendar. And although we love the excitement and anticipation that an Advent Calendar can bring, last year we tired of making the focus on giving our kids more stuff, even if it was as simple as a small piece of candy. So we put our headsContinue reading “Our Twist On the Advent Calendar”
