One of my favorite quotes is “Comparison is the thief of joy” from Theodore Roosevelt. I’ve reminded myself of this over and over again. However, I’m beginning to think that quote doesn’t take it far enough. What I’m discovering is that comparison is the thief of just about everything! It certainly steals your joy, but…… Continue reading Comparison… What has it Stolen from You Lately?
I do not have a green thumb at all. Each year I’m determined to try my hand at a vegetable garden and each year, I basically fail. Sometimes it’s out of my control (i.e. monster hail storms that demolish my veggies that are just starting to look gorgeous) and other times it’s my own doing. …… Continue reading Where is my Garden? I totally “thought” about planting those seeds!
The end of the month in our Plexus world is this crazy kind of hard beautiful. It’s full of amazing victories that are the result of some hard fought battles that most never see. It’s also full of some of the most heartbreaking moments that many will never understand outside our little world. We celebrate…… Continue reading Pointstalkers Unite!!
Let’s talk about the call to be Christlike, even when we don’t feel like it. Ugh. The past couple of weeks have been doozies. Lots of things that test my patience and ability to love others the way Christ does. Quite honestly, my spirit knows how I “should” respond, but my “flesh” has had other…… Continue reading But I don’t wanna….
Words have kind of been my theme for 2016. I whispered a quiet prayer at the beginning of the year and said “my words are yours”, in my head I had this fear that meant He was going to have me speak more or do more zoom calls. I had forgotten about the nudging the…… Continue reading Careful With That Sword
I made a “rookie” mistake. One that I’ve made more times than I can count on my journey in life. I tried to do it on my own strength. It’s never a conscious decision. It’s not like I wake up one morning and think “hey, today seems like a good day to stop relying on…… Continue reading Empty…
Disney is one of those places that is super overwhelming to me. The crowds. The noise. The lines. The 5 children each wanting to do something different and exhausted from no nap, but not wanting to nap, but still wanting to do all. the. things… overwhelming. The one thing February has going for it is…… Continue reading Princesses and Fireworks
I’ve been reading in Exodus the past few days. God has just kind of planted me in it, reading the same story over and over. A familiar story, but one that He keeps pointing out key details to me. A few days ago I wrote about my battle with fear and Him parting the Red…… Continue reading The Shorter Road Not Taken
A couple of months ago I did a panel with a group of Diamonds in Plexus. Our CEO led it and asked us a series of questions. One of the questions I was asked was “what is one of the top mistakes you see ambassadors make?” I knew this was a possible question and at…… Continue reading The Fatal Flaw
Several months ago, I was sent this song from a friend. We have talked about our battle against fear and anxiety on more than one occasion. The song, No Longer Slaves has became my anthem in my battle against letting the shackles of fear continue to hold me back in my life. If you haven’t…… Continue reading Walking Through the Sea
