What kind of story are you telling with your life? Is it a film that anyone would pay to see? Does your life have meaning? Purpose? Very few people take the time to think about these questions, and even fewer realize that they were born for significance and pursue it. "I am a nobody", is the sentiment of most everyone we meet. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is so easy to fall … [Read more...]
Are You Honest?
April 23, 2012 By 3 Comments
Are you honest? Now most people will say that they are, but do you tell little white lies to avoid hurting other people’s feelings. Do you sugarcoat how you feel about things instead of telling the truth about how you feel in your core? I did this for years discounting how I felt about people, places and things. We are taught to wear kid gloves around everyone and treat everyone with acceptance … [Read more...]
Living FREE-Get Rid of Debt
February 20, 2012 By 9 Comments
I have an acronym that I use with my clients when I talk about learning to “Live FREE”. Here is the acronym: F = Financial R = Relational E = Emotional E = Eternal The Bible is so much more than a book about the life Jesus Christ; it was literally the textbook of children in school for learning the proper way to live life; it was also a book of customs. Now I am not discounting … [Read more...]
Christians: Why Do You Try to Label Me?
February 15, 2012 By 3 Comments
Why do we have to try to label everyone? Have you ever thought about how many labels are used to describe you? For some reason every one of us has to fit into these culture established categories, so we label people. We use labels for authority definitions, judgment, legal definitions and as weapons. I watched a NOOMA video called NAME a couple of years ago that really helped me untangle how I … [Read more...]
Tear Down the Walls
January 17, 2012 By 10 Comments
Do you ever have a deep sense of loneliness settle deep into your soul? The kind where you can feel totally alone in a crowded room, like no one knows your even there: alone, invisible, seemingly transparent to the world, not heard, not known, vacant and non-existent; the feeling deep in your soul that you are not known at all, and if anyone really knew you it would be worse than you feel now. … [Read more...]
Reflection
April 20, 2011 By 2 Comments
It’s funny; you get to a certain place and you begin to reflect back on your life. What am I doing, and why am I doing this? Do I like my job or is it just a means to get by? What do I enjoy; what makes me HAPPY? Well if you are like me these were loaded questions. It seems in our society in which we live women pick up the pieces and do what we have to, to help our families survive. We work … [Read more...]
Self-Made Coffins

I am really amazed how many people in our world feel like their stuck right now. When things get bad in our lives we all have a tendency to circle the wagons and fall further into isolation. Our culture has created an unhealthy reliance on our government, money, the American dream and anything else we can blame our current circumstances on. We have lost the ability to dream and desire for … [Read more...]
The Older Brother
March 30, 2011 By 7 Comments
You know some people actually like having rules, boundaries and guidelines to control their lives, and then there are others who despise the feeling of being controlled and they push against anything that feels that way for them. I would probably fall into the latter category. I know people are laughing as they read that statement. Most of my life I have been a little rebellious, but that is why I … [Read more...]
I Want to LIVE!
September 25, 2010 By 3 Comments
Most people enjoy complaining about their lives, but they really don’t have the courage to step forward and change how they are living. They want to blame the government for the mess they are in, or better yet blame their parents, bosses, companies, spouses or kids for their financial dilemma and their addictions. They can’t get pass the pain, so most people just enjoy bitching; yes I said … [Read more...]
