Blend

2 Stories
Last week I shared a little bit with you about why knowing more than your top 5 strengths would be helpful. Did you do the homework of evaluating your strengths and choose one area that you might want to work on to do better? I have learned that there are some things...
More than your top 5
StrengthsFinder is more than the top 5. Millions of people have taken the StrengthsFinder profile and most of them have only got their top 5 results, not the “full 34” complete list. Very few people have ever had any coaching around their results which means they...

Civil Grace Giver
Are you one? Over the last few weeks, I have had several moments in time that have reminded me that I really do want to be a “civil grace giver”. A week or so ago at my church, the sermon was one of those moments. I would highly recommend you consider taking the time...

Seeing God’s Calling

Family Matters
For the last few weeks, I have been sharing how God has redeemed some of the things that happened when I was a child along with me not having any biological children of my own. He is pretty amazing the way He has been able to give me some of my heart's desire in some...
Give it to God

Be the Change
Happy almost August! If you are in Texas, like me, you know that the heat is intense this time of year. I do my best not to complain about it though because after all it is Texas and it is supposed to be hot. Back on Father’s day this year I spent some time...
What are you living for?
One of the best lines from my favorite TV show was “it’s easy to find something worth dying for. What are you living for?” When you have something worth living for, suicide is not an option. It hurts my heart to see so many suicides in the world. God created you for a...

Seeing clearly now…
Wow - the last few weeks we have covered a lot of information. Discovering your PLACE in this world is work! In my opinion, it is very much worth the effort. I have asked you to rate yourself each week on a scale of 1 - 10 in regard to how you are doing in the...
Building bridges
