Contention is a Choice. Peacemaking is a Choice.
01/18/2024

I went back and forth between deciding if I should share this particular, difficult story about how I avoided more contention online. Couldn’t I just share these principles in a vague way and it would still help teach you? No, The Spirit said. I prayed to know If I should share the story and the answer was, “Share the principles AND the story”. Sometimes, we learn better as we hear how it actually happened, with real life people. 


Recently, I was confronted with some online backlash and it was getting worse. The other person...


How God Shaped Me in 2023 - Homemaking, Finding our Homestead, Flaws in the Coaching Industry
#70
01/13/2024

Every word I type, I am reminded of how much it is a blessing to be in contact with you. Not just the fact that the internet is incredible. But I have faced major opposition to getting these messages out to you! My computer seemed to have become possessed every time I would try to work on material. It was laughable but then turned to the point of discouragement. Hard work would be erased, things would freeze, uploading would take forever, etc…and none of it coordinated with each other. Just random technical difficulties that seemed to have no en...


Being Mindful of Your Entertainment
12/10/2023

This week I am talking about how to be mindful of your entertainment. What we put into us GREATLY affects us! It can either compliment the Spirit or offend the Spirit.

 

However, I have fallen into the trap lately of not watching much entertainment at all! It felt safer that way. It is hard to find and I have been burned by it before as I try to be open and find things. The junk creeps in!  But be busy and productive with projects, kids, etc…

 

As you can imagine, this has n...

Sharing the Gospel with a Brave Heart | Interview with Hayley Clark
08/21/2023

“People would ask me, ‘How do I become more confident in sharing my testimony?”

First of all, you have to know for yourself.

So then if anyone comes to attack your beliefs, you will not fall.”

- Hayley Clark 

 

Sounds like a popular scripture, right?! (Hel. 5:12)

I was honored to speak with her, as a fellow sister, about our duty to share the gospel and our light. She is a great example of loving God more than loving the validation of man.

I hesitated to do a podcast on this because I am NOT an expert nor am I homesteading YET!

I thought it would be...
