Live a grateful life

imageMarch 4, 2016

God is always good! Even when reality is challenging …. We get to choose how we see things. I am so grateful that God chose me before he laid the foundation of the earth and knew my every day before he knit me together in my mothers womb!

Ponder that – he knew that today I would be blessed to wake up slowly snuggled in a puppy pile with Bubby and Zeke. He knew I would see the sun shining through the trees making cool shadow patterns in our back yard. He knew the crispness in the air would be perfect for a walk. No matter what you face today – find gratitude!

Gratitude is one of the best gifts God gave us … When I embrace gratefulness,  I am immediately drawn back into the presence of God.  And anything is possible with God!  It doesn’t matter what I need, if I can find gratitude, I can courage simply because I am standing in the presence of God.

Have courage. Be Kind.

In being bold – I can lose love …. my heart connection.  In anything and everything I do – I truly want to honor God and love well.  Today is my reminder – It takes courage to be bold and it is always a choice to be kind!

A friend shared her notes from a sermon on 1 Corinthians 13:4 … Kindness is a willingness to give everything good no matter the circumstances.

Choose to Be Bold

be boldMarch 2, 2016

How often do you just need to remember the truth of who God created you to be?  How often does the Bible specifically tell us to have courage and stir our hearts towards boldness?

Something I love about my Plexus business is that I get to expand my limits. I am constantly being pushed outside my comfort zone – I don’t know if I can even find my original comfort zone from when I started this business.

Not only am I getting better physically, I am a better me emotionally and spiritually as well.  I am bolder.  I speak truth more freely.  I act on commitments and convictions vs feelings.

I am a better woman because of Plexus! If you want to change anything about your life, I would love help! Let’s be bold together!

Start new events strong

hello-march-blue-photoMarch 1, 2016

It doesn’t matter if it is a new day, week, month, job, project or dream – start out right – start out strong!  For me, this means to reflect, shift, plan, prepare and execute.

#1 – Reflect on where you have been.  What did you learn? How were you grown? Where were you stretched?

#2 – Shift! Does anything need to change? A thought, behavior, attitude, belief … Also take a minute to celebrate what is working for you!

#3 – PLAN! What do you want to accomplish?  How are you going to do “that”? Break it down and evaluate your resources knowing that the most valuable 2 resources are your time and what is between your ears!

#4 – Prepare … Re-write your why. Lay it all out there. Cover it in prayer.  Build in accountability.

#5 Execute – Make it happen … the only thing that can stop you is you!  Get out of your own way!

Two – the perfect number

homeFebruary 27, 2016

I am so very grateful for a commitment free weekend. Just me and my hubs hanging out and getting some stuff done around the house.  We have had a ton of little things that we have been trying to finish and I do believe the vast majority will get done!  Two humans and two doggie boys will also make for some seriously high quality couch time too!

Stand Firm in Faith

1 cor 16-13-14February 26, 2016

This was a challenging week … make that month …. and it all felt like it was crashing in over the past couple of days!  God really spoke to me last night through his Word and lovingly reminded me of what is most important – HIM!

So today, I have my big girl panties on and I am armored up ready to take back the end of February and all of March.  I am not defined by anything that anyone says or does.  I am capable of way more than anyone can ever imagine simply because I am HIS!  My next 30 days are going to be way better than the past 2 weeks because I am simply His!  I choose to Be Strong, Be Courageous, and DO Everything in Love!

Be precious to God

1Ptr3February 25, 2016

When we make a stand for God, there is often some sort of “fall out”.  I believe it is spiritual warfare – Satan has lost the war.  Yet he still wants to win every battle and do everything he can to neutralize the work we do for God’s Kingdom.  This has been the story of my February and today God graciously reminded me that the most important thing I can do is to be beautiful for him and him alone!
