Wisdom Wins

based on Matthew chapter 11 Have you noticed that that there will always be people who disagree with you and your choices? Have you noticed that if you try to please people, you will end up exhausted and depressed? John the baptist stood out for the pure, holy, and very different way he lived. Jesus talked about him this way: “of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John”. Jesus calls him more than a prophet. Haters call him: demon possessed. Jesus also had a pretty interesting lifestyle. He didn’t live the most pure- looking life, though he remained perfectly sinless. He spent time with the sick and lame, the tax collectors and “sinners”. At a couple points, God the Father audibly said about Jesus: “This is my dearly loved Son.” Haters call him: glutton and drunkard. …”But wisdom is shown to be right by it’s results.” What were the results of these two men’s lives? Come ON! Their very lives were a bunch of fulfilled prophecies and the things ...

Some advice my husband, Kyle, and I were given before we got married, that has become one of our many mantras is: "What you do today, you do tomorrow. What you don't do today, you won't do tomorrow." Its almost silly because it's such a simple statement. But it's true! What is so magical about tomorrow?? Why not start today on what you want out of yourself and this life?

This principle works for pretty much every goal I can think of. Even small steps in the right direction eventually get you there! And by the way, everyone gets off course a bit at some point, even with the best intentions. But fail fast! Move on and t...

Motivation & Momentum

What are your resolutions... or goals? Maybe you are overwhelmed by having too many, or on the flip side, are avoiding making any goals all together! That’s okay! You're okay! ...Actually you're more than okay, you're amazing & have so much potential for greatness! Maybe you just need a bit of motivation. The word  motivation  can both describe action, and also a driving force behind our actions. Our actual behaviors from day to day tend to reflect a bigger purpose/belief that we have, whether we realize it or not. Spending time thinking about the "big picture" helps to frame where we want to go. Do you want to eat healthier? Have better relationships? Start or improve at a hobby? You don't end up at these destinations overnight; it takes small, purposeful steps towards these big-picture goals. Let's talk about momentum .  Imagine pushing a car that is in neutral. It's very heavy and you (and a friend or two) push with all your strength. Once y...
