Today I Took a Break
Today I took a break. I was in the middle of my workday and had a few things on my to-do list that needed to get done, but I took a break. A lot of my work with writing, reading, and preaching is mentally exhausting. There are some days that I can write for hours […]
Today I Went Shopping
Today I went shopping. I went shopping for a variety of items I’ll need to take on my upcoming month-long trip to Costa Rica. While I’ve done a lot of traveling in my life, I’ve never been gone for a whole month with no breaks before. In the weeks after grad school before I started […]
Today I Collaborated
Today I collaborated. My friend Cyndi and I collaborated on a writing project. Cyndi and I are newer friends. We met less than a year ago in an online writing group. She released her first book, Princess in Progress, just a few months before I released my first devotional, The Way of Gratitude. One day, […]
Today Was Revival, Part 3
Today was revival. I preached a three day children’s revival. Someone asked me, “A children’s revival? How does that work?” I’ll admit, I was a little confused by their question. Were they asking what the order of service was? Were they wondering if children pray at an altar like adults do? Or did they just […]
Today Was Revival, Part 2
Today was revival. I preached a three day children’s revival. It’s always a privilege to share the Word of God, but there’s something even more special when I get to spend a few days sharing it with the same group. This gives me the opportunity to learn more about the people I’m preaching to and […]
Today Was Revival, Part 1
Today was revival. I preached a three day children’s revival. My first full-time ministry job was in Family Ministries, and although I spend most of my time now teaching teens and adults, kids still have a special place in my heart. I believe theology begins at birth, and that the kingdom of God is not […]
Today Was Simple
Today was simple. It was a simple Saturday. I began the day by sleeping in, which was much needed after a busy week! I woke up and lounged in bed enjoying the slow start to my day. Finally I got up and enjoyed a nice cup of espresso at about 10am. I’ve always been more […]
Today I Cleaned
Today I cleaned. I cleaned my whole house! Well, to be clear, my husband did most of the cleaning. He likes to do the deep cleaning projects sporadically whereas I prefer a little tidying every day. It’s springtime, and even though we have a small home in Florida, it can easily get cluttered throughout the […]
Today I Was Coached
Today I was coached. I had a coaching call with a new business coach. I am not new to coaching – in fact I’ve been in three different formal coaching groups over the past decade! I have found immense value in coaching. The accountability provided, the insights gained from others, and the given permission for […]
Today I Saw Dolphins
Today I saw dolphins! I’ve lived in Florida for almost two years and finally saw a pod of dolphins swim by. I’ve heard about all the wildlife that’s seen in the area I live–alligators, wild boars, manatees, sea turtles, sharks, and whales depending on the season. But even though I’ve spent a lot of time […]
