This is what it looks like when you say yes to your dream
Reader, Can you imagine waking up each day with a deep sense of peace and purpose? Knowing your work matters, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s aligned with what God has called you to do. Pausing throughout the day to celebrate what He is doing in and through you. Overflowing with gratitude as you see your gifts and talents being used for His good purposes in the world. Because you’re creating beauty, connection, and encouragement that ripples into the lives of others. As the month...
Do this before you move on to November…
Hi Reader, Tomorrow we turn the page to a new month. I love that feeling of fresh and new, with anticipation of what God will do! But before we fall prey to the exhilaration of the next thing—plans, projects, or the sugar rush of tonight’s festivities—can I invite you to make a plan to pause this weekend? Yesterday I was facilitating some reflection time in my Dream Believers community—we do this intentionally at the end of every month for two reasons: We are forgetful people, likely to move...
What if your day began with this 5-minute practice?
Reader, Do you have a consistent morning routine? If I had to guess: you are likely engaged in some combination of exercise, eating breakfast, showering, and getting ready for your day. All good and necessary things we should all be doing. You probably even have Bible reading, prayer, or quiet meditation on that list. Yes! Those spiritual practices are key to our growing relationship with God. But what I’m referring to is this: a daily practice that helps you get clarity about the specific...
Dream Out Loud with us this week...
Hey, Reader! Once a month I host a Dream Out Loud call and it's happening THIS Wednesday, July 16th! Just 45 minutes on Zoom with other dreamers so you can shake off the cobwebs and get better at wrapping words around your God-shaped dream. Want to join us? It's free and gets rave reviews every month like this one: "It is valuable to meet and be with other women who are also pursuing a calling. I appreciate the opportunity to share what I'm doing in a safe space with the accountability to be...
Stuck between too many options? This might help.
Reader, How do you know the next right thing to do with your dream? Emily P. Freeman wrote a book about it, which I haven’t read but hear is pretty good. In the introduction she says, “Unmade decisions hold power. They pull, they push, they interrupt where they aren’t wanted and poke us awake at night.” Oh, if that isn’t the truth! At times it seems like the cascading waterfall of options about the way you might pursue your dream is part of the problem. ❓Is it a business or ministry?❓Online...
When taking the first step feels way harder than expected
Reader, I’d been seeing them all over social media: women walking with weighted vests to build stronger bones and muscles. I got curious—osteoporosis runs in my family, and I’ve seen how broken hips marked the beginning of the end for too many women on my mom’s side. So I thought, Why not? It’s worth a try, right? And I asked for one for Christmas. Welp… 15 pounds strapped to your back for a 1-mile walk is harder than it looks on Instagram. I used that vest once in January—and then took the...
The truth about your purpose (and how to find it)
Every day, as I drive my kids to school, I’m thinking about how to set them up well for their day. How can I point them to Jesus in those few moments in the car before they go off into their own world for the next 7 hours? This morning I asked if they knew about Ash Wednesday. They’d heard of it but said they didn't know what it was about. (Same boat, girls. I had to look it up since I’ve never attended a church that had an Ash Wednesday service.) So I began to share what I’d learned: that...
these are my 3 non-negotiables
Hey Reader, There are certain non-negotiables in my life. You know, the things I don’t waver on because the alternative doesn't cut it. 1️⃣ Jesus first. No matter what. My life, my relationships, and decisions I make are built on seeking Him and trusting His gentle leading. It hasn’t always been this way for me, but I have come to realize it’s the only way. My identity and security rest in Him. 2️⃣ Obedience over fear. Fear doesn’t get to make decisions for me—God does. Even if it means a...
Reminder of how precious we are to the Father 💕
Hey Reader, Inbox overflowing with 💗 heart emojis today? 🩷 Yeah, same.💕 And also jumping on the bandwagon to talk with you about a different kind of love—a heavenly love, unmatched in the world and bought through sacrifice. It’s a love we hardly understand and yet are compelled by it to live in such a way that we shine this very love to others in everything we do. At least that’s the hope. But it’s difficult to always see ourselves the way God sees us (and therefore see others as God sees...
Already feeling behind and it’s only January 10th?
I once had a coach tell me: We overestimate what we can accomplish in one year and underestimate what we can accomplish in 10 years. I don’t need any proof that this is true. A quick glance at the mounting list of items on my “want to do list” from quarterly planning earlier in the week and I know that there are not enough hours in a year to finish them all. What about you, Reader? Have you made big plans to accomplish all the things in 2025? Is this the year you’ll finally… [You fill in the...
