Sometimes life drags you through the mud and hands you a to-do list that looks impossible. The holidays, for example, can drain even the toughest among us. The endless planning, the mounting pressure to be "perfect," and the burnout that follows can leave you feeling wiped out and questioning if you even have what it takes to finish strong. And that's what you do; do what must be done.
No excuses.
With the cold chill in the air, it's no wonder that all you want to do is stay put and not do anything. Who wants to spend the holidays as if they are playing football in the snow? Yet, at some point, all the things need to get done by you or the holidays will feel incomplete. But the weather can't be the excuse. You must figure out how to gain more time during the holidays.
No one will hand you extra hou...
Do you hear what I hear: life noisy, chaotic, and full of surprises, throwing you off balance. Pile up the deadlines, conflicts, health scares, and financial headaches. Peace often feels like the biggest luxury we can't afford. But what if peace isn't about escaping chaos, but walking through it; it's Thee peace — God's calm in the chaos.
Isaiah 9:6 cuts to the heart of it:
"For to us a child is born, to ...
Some people believe leftovers are the best. Maybe that's good for food, but for marriage, not so much. When it comes to the "death do us part" vow, your spouse might say otherwise. So why not make your spouse the star this holiday?
Because ultimately, that would melt a ton of disagreements as to what matters overall. Whose spouse wouldn't want to feel like the star?
Between the dinner, dishes, and dogs, how does anyone ever find the time to prepare the family for the true heart of Christmas? Because, like me, I know you are trying to do all the things. But are they the right things? So why not do Christmas differently this year? Create space for Christmas in the chaos.
You don't have to create a Pinterest-perfect Christmas to do that. What matters most is carving ou...
What is it about the weekend looming? The week has worn you down just enough to feel heavy in your bones. The kind of tired that seeps past the surface, whispering, "Just rest. Skip the weekend plans. Stay in bed." Life's been coming and going all week, and here you are—still expected to show up.
I want to talk about that tiredness. Not to shame it or fix it with a magic pill, but to find honor in it. Bec...
Why is it that this time of year, the calendar fills up and your energy disappears? December comes in like a whirlwind, dishes pile up, and suddenly you're wondering when you signed up to be the world's busiest elf. Seriously?!? If you're like most people, your own wellness gets pushed way down on the list just because there's too much to do. However, ignoring yourself this time of year is the fastest route to...
The holiday season is notorious for turning you into a checklist machine. You wake up with a mental rundown of what must be done: complete Cyber purchases, groceries, school events, meal prep, work deadlines, holiday gatherings, gift wrapping, and on and on. By the time Tuesday is here, that list is already gnawing at your energy and your spirit. You're already wiped out just thinking about the week ahead. Sound too familiar? W...
December evenings can feel like a pressure cooker. You scroll through Instagram and see everyone's lives perfectly arranged: big wins, festive decor, smiling faces. Meanwhile, you're staring down unfinished projects, mounting fatigue, and that nagging voice telling you you're behind, failing, or simply out of place. Why does it feel like everyone else is moving forward, while you're stuck living life out of or...
When the future feels shaky and the world seems out of control, hope is often what's missing. But here's where you check your pulse: hope is not wishful thinking or vague optimism. Real hope is a confident expectation anchored in the faithfulness of God.
Jeremiah 29:11 cuts through the noise: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you an...
Marriage is no fairy tale without effort. It demands work, dedication, and a clear purpose to turn the ordinary into an extraordinary journey. When that effort wanes, couples find themselves facing the big 'D'—divorce. No one wants that outcome. Yet, many walk down the aisle with hope for forever, only to get distracted by the temptation of greener grass elsewhere. But the problem is that they're digging for g...
Raising kids with kind hearts filled with gratitude feels like an uphill battle these days. It's no secret that screens dominate their attention—heads buried in phones and tablets, tuning out the world around them. But it doesn't have to be this way.
If we let kids do what they want with technology, many will struggle to grasp what it really means to be kind, respectful, and thankful.
Thanksgiving often nudges us to list the people we appreciate—the family, friends, mentors, colleagues. But this year, let's flip the script. Before you reach out to thank another, consider turning your gratitude inward. What if today, the letter of thanksgiving you write is to yourself?
Think about your year—not just the surface moments you flash back to, but the quiet stretches, the small triumphs, the ...
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denials into acceptance chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~ Melody Beattie
Gratitude isn't just about saying "thank you."

Far too often, we're caught in a relentless cycle of "putting out fires" — responding to demands, answering endless messages, attending meetings that don't move the needle. Our days are dictated by everyone else's priorities. But what if that didn't have to be your reality? What if you could break free and create margin to do what matters?
Imagine this moment as a fork in the road. The old season is burni...
As the holiday season unfolds around us, the pull of distractions and pressures can easily divert our mind, body, and spirit from the path God desires. It's a time when expectations run high, and focusing on what truly matters often feels like an uphill battle. But there is one simple yet powerful weapon we can wield to stay grounded: a heart of gratitude.
Psalm 118:24 sets the tone perfectly: "This is th...
The holiday season — a time when most expect joy and togetherness — often arrives wrapped in stress, tension, and expectations that feel impossible to meet. It's no surprise that fights flare more frequently during this time, as couples get caught in a tug-of-war between family demands, unmet hopes, and sheer exhaustion. The mountain looks too huge to climb. But it doesn't have to break you or your marriage. B...
When life takes over, it has a way of swallowing your heart and demanding your head show up instead. We're wired to want control—to have everything in order, to anticipate and prevent the unexpected. It feels safer that way. But as a parent, the more you chase perfection, the more you miss the raw, imperfect, priceless moments that really define your relationship with your child. Capture the moment, not perfec...
Chaos feels like a storm that drowns out everything else — your dreams, your confidence, your clarity. When life tosses curveballs, it's easy to fixate on what you can't do, what slipped through your fingers, or what's falling apart. But what you can't do doesn't define you. Holding on to those failures or limitations only keeps you stuck in the mud, blinding you to where your power really lies. Action detangl...
