One Sentence at a Time

One Sentence at a Time

God calls us to follow one sentence, one period, at a time. And if you are like me, connecting those dots usually does not result in a straight line. Twenty-three years ago I graduated from law school and embarked on a legal career in the area of construction law. I...
Use Your Tools

Use Your Tools

What’s in your toolbox? So many times as women we feel so much pressure to do everything – volunteer in the class, bake for this party, drive to this function… This is on top of being a mother, a daughter, a caretaker, a chauffeur, an employee, a business...
Fearlessness Is Not Courage

Fearlessness Is Not Courage

“There’s a big difference between fearlessness and courage, although they sound very similar, the difference is critical. Fearlessness is jumping off the cliff and not thinking about it. That’s idiotic. Courage on the other hand is acknowledging how...
Don’t Try to Figure God Out

Don’t Try to Figure God Out

Don’t ever try to “figure God out.” Just trust. And listen… A couple weeks ago I shared that I had made a very difficult decision to cancel on a really great opportunity – a leadership retreat in sunny Florida hosted by the top coach in...
Good Good Father

We Get to Serve

We Get to Serve

“What is your calling?” That feels like such a big question, doesn’t it? It sometimes seems like we need a really profound and deep philosophical answer. But if there’s one thing I’m not it’s deep and philosophical. LOL. I’m...
Too Much Jesus

Too Much Jesus

Too much… Too loud Too bold Too positive Too healthy And oh…Too much Jesus Just about 2 years ago I set my feet on Texas soil for the first time. I prayed for God to open doors or close doors, but to please make it clear… He did. Over and over. Every...
Back to Basics

Back to Basics

Ever have one of those days? You start out tired and struggle from there. You’ve got a million things on your to-do list(s) and not enough hours or capacity to tackle it all. You are on the verge of tears and just want to get back in bed. Except you’re a...
Push or Protect?

Push or Protect?

The alarm went off at 4:15am this morning. Ugh.   My coffee was brewing (love the timer function) and I couldn’t wait to get a sip. But I dreaded what came next, waking up my teenagers.   Football started last Wednesday and they got in two days, then...
