Is God asking you to let go of something?
1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

As I was driving to my favorite office space (Starbucks) I started thinking about how cool it is that we can share our lives with people literally around the world all because of technology. I love that we no longer have to work in “the office” but can literally work from anywhere that has Wi-Fi?
Heck, I do my coaching sessions and even have coffee dates over Skype. Speaking of Skype, I have a coffee date scheduled with a new friend of mine, Holley Gerth in a few days.
Holley will be stopping by my blog on September 26 and we will be giving away some cool stuff that day so make sure to visit!
I’m so excited to introduce you to her! She is someone you will fall in love with if you don’t already know her. She is a best-selling author of Your’re Already Amazing as well as several other books and has her own line of awesome things at DaySpring.
When she spoke at the She Speaks conference I attended in July, she created such an intimacy with the audience. I felt as if I was the only person in the room she was talking with.
Holley asked us about our God-Sized Dreams. She helped us see past ourselves and into the vision God has for our lives.
I want to encourage you today that YOU too have a God-Sized Dream deep in your heart.
During my Yes to God bible study, I had huge breakthrough! I said Yes to God by embracing the authentic me, by letting go of perfection and comparison, which has freed me to completely pursue my God-Sized Dream!
Will you join me in a little coffee date today? Pour yourself a cup of coffee or your favorite drink, grab your journal and write out everything you’ve ever dreamed of doing. Think back to when you were a little girl. What dreams did you share with your best friend?
I want to hear all about you today! What did you discover during our coffee date? Leave a comment below.

Everyone is trying to win at this game called life. Whether it’s trying to lose a few pounds, becoming a better friend, finding a new career or just getting the front row parking spot at the grocery. We are always trying to win.
I find myself every single day trying to win at something. And then reality sets in. I’m fighting for the unattainable. I’m fighting for perfection.
At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter if I’m just the right shape or how many friends I have on Facebook. What really matters is if I like me. And when I’m in a constant battle to win, the opposite becomes true and I end up hating me.
A few weeks ago, when I started feeling really down on myself and listening to those negative thoughts I did something completely different than I’ve ever done.
I quit! Yes. I quit!
With a tear-stained heart, I said I quit!
I VOW TO QUIT TRYING TO BE THE PERFECT: writer, speaker, coach, wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, …….
And for the first time in a long time I WON! After quitting, I felt exhilarated. I was unstoppable. I was confident. I was able to believe the complete TRUTH. I was able to live out Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Quitting gave me a fresh vision for my life.
I no longer have to strive for perfection.
I want to challenge you to QUIT today. In the comments section tell me what you are quitting and your name will be entered to WIN What Happens When Women Say Yes To God Devotional by Lysa TerKeurst.

And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6,7

Don’t you hate getting interrupted?
How many times have you said, “I don’t have time for this in my life right now?” Honestly, when do we ever have time for interruptions?
A little over a year ago, I received a phone call from my dad telling me Mom had been admitted to the ICU for unexpected triple by-pass surgery. I hung up the phone immediately, packed my bags and headed to the hospital two hours away.
I was panicked!
Speeding down the highway, fear and anxiety tormented me. As you can imagine, I don’t do well with hospitals after spending almost four weeks in a coma on life-support. It’s just not my thing. But no matter if it was my thing or not it was getting ready to be my thing real quick.
It felt surreal walking into the ICU to see mom lying in bed hooked up to monitors and IVs. It was heartbreaking.
Her surgery turned out to be a success, however weeks later after getting her settled in at home, I received another phone call, “Your mother has had a heart attack. She’s in the ambulance now.”
I fell to the floor in shock and pure exhaustion.
On my way back to the ICU, I was determined not to leave her side. I stayed by her bed day and night. I’ll never forget those dark nights watching the monitors and praying, “Lord, save her.” Tears flooded my face and soul. “Lord, thank you for healing me so that I can sit by Mom’s bed just as she did for me.” It was in those midnight hours that I felt the Lord’s presence and his gentle spirit hovering over the hospital room.
Life was very disrupted during those months of hospitalization and rehabilitation, however I do not regret this divine interruption. I’m actually very grateful. It was one way I could repay my mom for all that she has sacrificed for me my entire life. I’m proud to say that yesterday; I celebrated with my mom at her retirement party! Another MIRACLE from God!
I want to encourage you no matter how overwhelmed you are with life’s interruptions; the Lord can turn them into some life’s greatest appreciations.
Leave a comment and tell me whom you are grateful for in your life today. Let’s cover them in prayer.

Will you join me on my front porch today?
As I sit in my rocking chair, listening to the birds chirp, watching the sunrise with the cool gentle breeze blowing, I’m filled with awe and wonder. God softly whispers, “be still”.
I remember sitting in this very place writing one of many journal entries on my CaringBridge page during my cancer journey. Every entry was written from a secret place deep in my soul. There’s something about facing death that strips away everything you’ve ever tried to hide behind.
Do you want to know the best part about having cancer? I know that sounds crazy, but really there was good that came from living with that dreaded “C” word.
I finally gave myself permission to genuinely be me. There was no need to perform anymore or appear to be something I was not. It naturally forced me to be me while uncovering the gift of life.
I’m #amazed at how God took my most vulnerable and frightening days and turned them into vast strength and courage.
After my third chemotherapy treatment I wrote, “God is using the cancer to change my life for Him to bring New Life in my spirit so I can share Jesus’ love with everyone I meet. Thank you Jesus for my cancer.” I had no clue how true those words would resonate in my daily life today, four years later.
My sweet friend, I’m here today to encourage you, that no matter what pain or hell you might face, it will pass and can be used for God’s greater purpose in your life.
I’m asking you to hold on, even if you have to white knuckle it, because He will create beauty from your pain.
Please share whatever is on your heart today.
Let’s pray for each other. When you leave a comment, please pray for the person that comments before you.
Much love, blessings and God’s favor for you~
