What is new
I thought I’d just check in with you and say hi, and let you know what I’m up to.

What is obedience?
What is obedience to God? I learned this from the leaders Roger and Laureen Traver at the Moumtaintop Ministries marriage retreat in Kansas City, Kansas, this weekend with my husband Ray, which I’m going to blog about this week. I thought what they said was powerful and true, so I made a graphic from it at Canva. Obedience is…
Repurpose content for your audios & videos
Are you a speaker, author, or entrepreneur and do you have a vault full of audios and videos with valuable content, and you’re wondering what you should do with them? Repurpose them! The definition of repurpose is “to adapt for use in a different purpose.” On my scope tonight, I shared three ways you can repurpose your audios and videos, which are listed below.

Sometimes God redirects you
Have you ever been traveling somewhere new, when suddenly there was construction ahead, and your car’s GPS redirects you? The female voice always says, “Recalculating” several times until Ray and I are back on the right highway again. Sometimes in life, God changes your direction, too. He does this because He knows exactly where you are going and how to take you safely there. Let Jesus take the wheel! His word, the Bible, is your GPS, and God will never steer you wrong! Right now that’s what...

The Cinderella Story: The Power of Dreams
What is your big dream? What is holding you back from achieving it? I saw a sign this week in town that read, “If you can dream it, you can achieve it.” While I agree with that, I believe it takes faith in God, self-discipline, smart work, and not quitting to get there! I’m excited to announce that my new eBook for Kindle, The Cinderella Story: The Power of Dreams, is launching! You can pre-order it for just 99 cents.... Read more »

My “One Word” and Scriptures for 2016
Several years ago I stopped making New Year’s Resolutions because they don’t work anyway; 1/3 of resolutions don’t make it past January because of no commitment. Resolutions lacka foundation of meaning. Life Hacks’ articleon resolutions by Steve Erry says that: “Whatyou need is something more fundamental, more central and more important to you. What you need is something that comes from the inside, something that’s based on what’s important and what matters to you.That’s the only way to get b...

Your words have power
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” You may have heard this expression before, but it isn’t true. Words can devastate you–or elevate you.Click To Tweet God created the world with words. He said, “Let there be light,” and there was light, (Genesis 1:3) and He saw that it was good. (v. 4) Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead with His words, “Lazarus, come forth!” (John 11:43) Jesus also cursed the fig tree with... Read more »

We had all our children and grandchildren over for Christmas Eve dinner here at our house; on Christmas Eve, Ray, Heather and Leah traveled to Texas to visit Ray’s mom Judy and stepdad Leonard.

The Cinderella Story: The Power of Dreams
Do you have a big dream(s) in your heart? What do you need to do to make them happen? First, you have to believe in the power of your dreams. Then you have to take action to accomplish them. With God nothing is impossible. I believe very often, God is the one who puts those dreams in our hearts, when they line up with His word and are His will. I now have my new book, the second book in... Read more »
