Mindset Mondays: The Power of Vision

Do you understand the power of vision? Vision has the power to propel you from your perceived path into your ordained destiny. In 2 Kings 7, the four lepers at the gate had a moment of clarity. They looked into their future and saw the outcomes of their choices. Have you ever had a moment when your path became so clear that you realized you had stepped into your destiny? I have those moments when I start writing a new book or when I work with my clients on transformation. My path is clear, and I know and understand my Read More

Mindset Mondays: Practicing God’s Presence

We can never spend too much time practicing God’s presence. In my devotional reading a few days ago, I was captivated by the author speaking about maintaining a life of peace and joy by practicing God’s presence. She said the secret to a life of peace and joy is maintaining an awareness of God’s presence even in the most mundane of circumstances. Even though we often mentally acknowledge that God is everywhere, we are less aware of God with us and in us (Psalm 16:8). We must be intentional in turning to God (in us) over and over again to Read More

Mindset Mondays: Living Intentionally

Living intentionally involves making conscious choices that reflect your values and beliefs. It means being proactive rather than reactive and living with purpose rather than drifting aimlessly.

What does intentionality look like from a Biblical perspective? Living intentionally Read More

Mindset Mondays: That Same Power

Power is needed to defeat all of the schemes of the enemy. Where do you get your power? Not your electrical power. Even though that is important. On Friday we started to have power issues at our house. Some outlets worked; others did not work. The clock on the kitchen range kept going on and off. We were almost devoid of power. For some reason all of the overhead lights in the house worked just fine. To fix our power problem, we called on the experts, and they arrived promptly to fix the problem. At times we find ourselves in Read More

Birthday: Five More Years Pursuing Purpose

Today is my birthday, and I am going to repost a story from five years ago (with updates, of course). I was born on June 17, Father’s Day. I am not going to talk about Fathers; I am going to talk about my journey and why I do what I do. To do this, I am using one of the songs from the Hamilton Musical, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.  The song starts like this: “Let me tell you what I wished I’d known when I was young and dreamed of glory. You have no control over Read More
