Today I stayed in bed all day. Yesterday wasn’t the best day. I felt a sense of uncertainty regarding my work- more specifically my gift. I woke up this morning grumpy, negative, lacking optimism for the day. Did I mention it was a rainy day? All I felt like doing was sleeping, and after my morning drop-offs and a quick work-out, that’s exactly what I did. I slept. I share all that with you to get you to this. Later in the day, I finally sat with the Lord (which ideally I would’ve done first thing this morning but I’m not perfect) and within 15 minutes I got exactly what…

BREAK FREE & LIVE! 10 Days Away!
BREAK FREE & LIVE! launches in exactly 10 days and I’m humbled and excited to be able to share it with the world. It has truly been a surreal experience up to this point. I never imagined that it would evolve the way it has. Check out a few pictures from the journey: When Christ sets us free, we are free indeed. As we follow Christ, we are simply walking in faith, often unaware of what lies ahead. Chains prevent us from walking in faith by keeping us attached to the things of the past. In order to BREAK FREE & LIVE!, we must forget those things which are behind…

Free to Speak
Courage precedes speaking. You have to be free in order to speak. Are you free to speak? Do you speak your truth? Are you free to speak without adjusting your words to fit the audience? Or, do you adapt your words based on who you’re speaking with? Do you flat out lie in order to be accepted? These are questions we should all face, as our freedom lies in our ability to speak. In this post, I discuss how my freedom was in my speaking. We know we’re free when we’re able to talk about it. When we hide, lie, fake and pretend, we’re still bound. When we are free,…

Do you ever take time to consider your commitments? What are you committed to? What are your priorities? What’s important to you? What are you committed to no matter what comes your way? If we are to make real progress in life, we must be committed. We can’t be just committed to anything, nor should we have to sit and ponder what our #1 commitment should be.

Making Spirit-Led Decisions
Everyday we’re challenged to make Spirit-led decisions. Our lives today are simply the results of the decisions we made yesterday. As we grow in Christ, we must grow in our ability to make Spirit-led decisions. When we don’t rely on the Spirit to make decisions, we mostly rely on emotions or intellect. Both of these are undependable. Let’s address emotions first. (1) Emotions are unstable and constantly changing, so it’s no wonder why our decisions don’t stick when we rely on emotions to make them. When we make emotional-based decisions, we will often regret our decisions because we will soon feel differently than we did before. It’s common to grieve over…
