2021/06/30

Are you a fan of goal setting? Do goals matter? They should because God has an assignment for you to complete! It's one only you can fulfill if you are willing to accept it. People often ask me how I know what goals I'm supposed to set. That's not always easy to know at first, so I start by paying attention to what God is leading me to do. Another common question is how to make them achievable? To make a goal achievable isn't the goal - not really. The goal is to help you get moving in a

2021/06/23

Have you been torn between deciding when to step away or push through a difficult situation? Sure you have. We all have. Making tough decisions is part of life. Life decisions aren't easy for most of us to make. It takes time to wrestle with the possible outcomes! I call them the "What if scenarios." Well, what if I told you there is freedom in the pivot. You heard me! Freedom comes after you decide to pivot. That freedom is something you need to consider. In this episode, I'll share three

Are you running your race with confidence or looking around at what others are doing? Do you know why running your race is important? Do you find yourself looking at others and trying to imitate them? How you run your race depends on your season of life. A twenty-something runs differently than someone in their forties or sixties. Why? Life experience, the demands of children, and physical health. It is wise to accept the realization that your race will change as you age. God designed it this way

You Can Overcome the Character Crisis - 65

2021/06/09

Do you see what I'm seeing? Parents and leaders across the country are noticing the character crisis permeating our communities. Lying, marginalizing, undermining, spreading partial truths all seem okay now. Are they? Not according to God's standards! The character crisis we see on display doesn't mean we should partake. Actually, we need to do just the opposite. We need to be more diligent in living a life of integrity. The ends don't justify the means. Never have, never will. As a believer,

Marriage can be messy and far from normal. But what can we learn about loving our spouse when they don't love us back? How do we trust God to work in us when hope seems lost? Can God heal your marriage? God has not called us to be normal because normal doesn't exist. Not in life or our marriage. When we let go of our expectations and trust God, we have peace knowing He can repair the broken and redeem what was lost.

Little Faith, Big God with Debbie W. Wilson - 60

2021/05/05

Do you ever feel like you don't have enough faith to do what God asks you to do? Or that God isn't big enough to help you? If you answered yes to either question, you're not alone. Even Abraham and Noah also struggled when God gave them instructions! We need to remember that it's not about having faith in ourselves. God isn't interested in the amount of faith we have when we start, but it is the faith we place in God that matters. Faith in ourselves doesn't impress the Lord. Throughout

2021/04/28

Is it possible to make homeschooling easy? Homeschooling is too hard! Where do I start? I could never do that! Are common questions parents ask when considering if they should homeschool their children. I frequently thought, "I'm not qualified to teach my kids. I don't have a teaching degree. I don't know phonics or Physics." The cool part is I didn't need any of those to homeschool. I needed the Lord to lead me, a willing heart, a desire to figure it, and the resolve to stick with it.

Parenting and Homeschool advice - Equipped To Be with... ·

2021/03/31

Self-protection isn't new. People disappoint us, so we put up walls. God doesn't answer our prayer, so we stop praying. We deal with pain and suffering by self-protecting. It feels safer. But, is it how Jesus handled pain and suffering? Did he avoid people who hurt him? No. Then maybe we should live by his example. A friend recently shared something about self-protection from the book 40-Days to Decrease by Alicia Britt Chole. Her text was so good that I had to pull my copy off the shelf and read

Do the words of others linger in your mind? You can hear them play over and over again. You want to erase their words, but you can't get them out of your head. It's because we've given people headspace. It's like giving free rent in my head to others, and it has to stop. Most people can remember a time when someone said something they couldn't let go of: You're a jerk! You're no good at that! You should give it up and try something else!
