Finding Balance: Trusting the Journey to Purpose and Success

Finding Balance: Trusting the Journey to Purpose and Success Balance is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. How do we manage life, stay happy, pay bills, build a successful career, follow our passion, and still survive? It’s a question that weighs heavily on many of us, especially those of us with entrepreneurial spirits. The Lord has been consistently reminding me of the need to find balance, to trust that everything will fall into place, as long as I keep working in my purpose. It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of responsibilities like career, family, financial obligations, and personal goals. It can feel overwhelming, as if there aren’t enough hours in the day. But the truth is, balance isn’t about perfection. It's about learning to ride the wave of life, trusting that while we’re figuring it out, God is paving the way. 1. Prioritize What Matters– Not everything is urgent, and not everything deserves equal attention. You have to be intentional about wh...

Finding Strength in God and Extending Grace to Others

Finding Strength in God and Extending Grace to Others Father God, grant me strength for today. There are moments when I feel tested by those around me, and it’s easy to let the weight of the world weigh heavy on my heart. Right now, the world is going through so much. People are struggling, often in silence, carrying burdens that others may never see. It’s important to remember that we don’t always know what someone else is facing. We often expect help and support from others during difficult times, but when that help doesn’t come, disappointment follows. Our expectations of people will fail us if we rely too heavily on them. Instead, we must give grace, understanding that sometimes, others simply aren’t in a place to give what we need. It’s not that they don’t love or support us; they may just need time. They, too, could be going through their own battles in silence. We must find our peace in the Lord and learn to move forward, knowing that God is always there. Let’s step out of our f...

Healing is Hard, But It’s Worth the Work

Healing is Hard, But It’s Worth the Work Healing is not a straight path. Some days are filled with hope and progress, while others feel heavy with setbacks. It's like riding a roller coaster up one moment, and down the next. Healing is a journey, not a destination. But no matter how hard it feels, you have to face it head-on, knowing that where you are right now is not where you'll always be. Doing the Work Healing requires work. And let’s be real it’s the hardest work you will ever do. The courage it takes to confront the things that hurt you the most is immense. But avoiding it won’t bring peace, and staying stuck in the pain will only drag you down. The only way to truly heal is to put in the work. That might look like daily meditation, prayer, or committing to therapy. It could mean leaning on a sister circle, a trusted friend, or a supportive spouse. It’s about building a support system and realizing that healing doesn’t have to be done in isolation. Grace for Yourself As ...

Attitude: The Silent Killer of Healthy Relationships

 Attitude: The Silent Killer of Healthy Relationships Your attitude has the power to either build or break your relationships. The way you treat others can deeply impact your personal and professional connections. A negative attitude can slowly erode trust, respect, and love damaging even the strongest bonds. It’s easy to forget that every interaction matters, but a harsh word or dismissive tone can leave lasting scars on someone’s heart. What if the person you mistreated was meant to be a blessing in your life? The Bible reminds us in Hebrews 13:2, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” You never know who you’re speaking to or how your actions could impact their journey or your own. Be mindful of how you treat others. Choose kindness, empathy, and patience. Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, and a positive attitude is the key to nurturing that. Remember, you could be enterta...
