The 2020 Pandemic Exposed My Weaknesses, Defenses, Strengths, and Potential
Not unlike most of the world, 2020 threw me into a tailspin and exposed a shadow side I was unaware of. My last post was a tribute to turning 50, where the future was my to possess. Little did I know four weeks later, everyone's world would be turned upside down. And I would see just how emotionally unhealthy I really was.
A Letter to My 8-Year-Old Self
You'll spend a lot of your life feeling like you don't fit in. Most of the time, you'll believe it's because you're not enough, and then you'll swing to you're just too much. Somewhere along the way, you'll lose yourself, but you'll discover her again. You will actually fall in love with her, and fitting in won't seem to be that big of a deal. But it will suck that the revelation comes so much later in life.
It’s just two letters, but almost impossible to say!
What do you do when there isn’t enough time in the day? When the lists continue to grow, and the priority list is everyone else’s priorities but your own? I'm often told treasure these times, because before you know it the house is quiet,…
No... that's not the plan at all!
What do you do when things just don’t go according to plan? Me, I get frustrated, start making lists, and try to figure out a way to make it go according to my plan! But what if not going according to plan was the plan all along? What if,…
Failure is an option, not trying isn't!
Instead of allowing my failure to push me to practice more, work harder, and get better, I let it freeze me in time! I let my fear of failure dictate my future!
Your Story - What's its Purpose?
Your story is never totally your own, there is always someone who can identify in some way and before you know it, you both share part of the same story. Finding someone who can identify with what you've been through can often bring hope where…
The unmet need...
'I was too busy looking at what wasn't enough to realize God was answering prayers, multiplying seed, and blessing our family right before my eyes! I couldn't get excited about the blessing, because I couldn't take my mind off the need!'
That…
Get past the handshake...
Have you ever heard someone say, "Get to know Jesus it'll change your life", and wonder how the heck you get to know someone you cannot feel, see, smell, or audibly hear? It's a relevant question. After all, if I told you I had a friend in Ohio…
Laura
Remade Ministries' workshop created in me a paradigm shift of revelation I
never thought I would be able to reach.
Remade - We are new!
I saw her. She walks with a smile, but her shoulders are weighted down with the things she harbors. Her heart overwhelmed by the shame of her past. Instant replays fill her mind, they come from a bottomless pit of regret.
Detour Ahead
Change! It's unwanted when unexpected, and embraced when desired. Change is as fickle as an Elementary school sweetheart! One day for you, and the next day against you!
Perfect Peace
Our mindset not our situations determine our peace. We can be under the most intense battle of our lives and remain in constant peace.
