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. A few months ago, I published a post entitled Next Time: Be Intentional. You can view it here. Since that time, the Holy Spirit has been continually speaking to me about intentionality. We must be constantly aware of our intentions when dealing with people, our finances, our thoughts, our motives, and every part of our lives. God wants us to live intentionally. 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
Mindset Mondays: Hagar and The God Who Sees
Hagar looked and saw God’s supernatural provision (Genesis 21). God has been speaking to me about the story of Hagar in Genesis 16 and Genesis 21. God looks ahead, sees what is coming, and prepares the way for you. Hagar’s experience is one of supernatural provision and deliverance. For Hagar (Genesis 16), it was a desert experience that caused her to finally understand that she was not alone. El-Roi was there watching over her. He saw her anguish and pain. He was there when Sarai told her to leave and not come back. He had a plan already in place Read More
Psalm 91: Prayer of Protection
Psalm 91 is a prayer of protection. This is part of your heavenly armor (Ephesians 6:13-20). You can rest in God’s assurance. Pray Psalm 91 daily and watch God keep you safe and secure. When the enemy is seeking someone to devour, don’t let it be you. Here is the Psalm in the Passion Translation (TPT). When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High. He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence. He will rescue you from Read More
Mindset Mondays: Five Ways to Achieve Godly Rest
Rest is an important part of your business and ministry, especially if you want to maintain a work-life balance, spiritual renewal, and overall well-being. Psalm 37:7 tells us to, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him”. Here are five practical ways to integrate rest and spiritual reflection into your busy schedule: Schedule Regular Sabbath Rest: Set aside a specific day each week as your Sabbath, dedicated to rest, worship, and spiritual rejuvenation. Honor this time as a sacred gift from God, refraining from work-related activities and focusing on personal renewal and connection with God and loved ones. “Remember the Read More
