Living in Gratitude
Have you ever painstakingly searched for the perfect gift for someone and then after you gave it to them it was met with indifference and possibly not even acknowledged? It’s especially disappointing when that happens and you knew without a doubt it was the perfect gift. But for some reason, it wasn’t exactly what […]
Take Pleasure in Your Work
Sometimes we fall into the trap of believing that our day-to-day tasks are mundane. If we look at what others are doing we begin to believe that the things that we are doing for a living, the tasks we do for our loved ones, or even as service to others in our free time aren’t […]
Remarkable Faith
I’m always in awe of the many talented people out there who are seemingly fearlessly stepping into their calling. Each person’s gifts are so different from everyone else’s and it really is beautiful when we take time to notice how everyone if they choose to, can use those gifts for good. When I refer to a calling, […]
Ask and You Shall Receive
Did you know we don’t have to ask God for joy, happiness, fulfillment, or peace? Instead, did you realize that they are all residual benefits of seeking God’s kingdom first? I’ve prayed for peace and other fruits of the spirit for so long and, yes, I’ve certainly experienced the fruits of the spirit in my […]
Letting Go of Control; The Art of Surrender
When is enough, enough? We all have a tendency to get caught up in wanting more and more of something in our lives. The way we crave that thing becomes a vicious cycle and soon its almost impossible to have enough; we’ve become addicted. In last week’s blog and Reviving Your Soul (Now Longing for More) show, we talked about […]
The Gift of Letting Go
We all have challenges in our lives. Some happen on a daily or weekly basis and we barely notice them. Others are times that were so painful we didn’t know if we would survive. Some of those trials happen in a moment and we spend the rest of our lives putting the pieces back together and other […]
Connecting in Community
Connecting with complete strangers when you are at a special event seems so easy when there is a common bond that brings you together. I talk about that in my recent episode of Reviving Your Soul (Now Longing for More) called Living in Community with Others where I share a recent experience at the annual Back to the […]
Living a Life of Grace
Grace is everywhere and is so abundantly given to us. Why is it then that we are so reluctant to give it to ourselves and others? In this week’s podcast of Reviving Your Soul (Now Longing for More), I share that I’ve been drawn to touch on the topic for some time, but have […]
The Journey
Have you ever noticed how just when you think you have the perfect plan, it falls apart? My most recent experience testing this was a couple of weeks ago when I flew to New Mexico to help move my son, Tye, his wife, Sabrina, and their family back to South Dakota. We had loaded their […]
Rescuing Turtles and Other Devine Interruptions
I love to travel, but after several days, I just want to be home. I was having that feeling the other day. I’d been on this amazing retreat with some really thoughtful, caring, and gifted women who are called to help others gain health and improve their lives. But every stop on the trip home felt like the […]
