I kept finding myself in this place of frustration and anger at the seemingly standstill in my career. I mean anyone from the outside looking in would surely agree that I was stuck. Day in, day out of routine and mundane and a toxic environment were wearing me out. And comparing myself with my peers… Continue reading Something Like Esther

When Emotions Rise (Part 2)
Anxiety and Fear and Anger. I read the email and that is all I felt. I was offended and wounded and at my ending point. Again. I began to shut down my computer monitors. I made plans in my head of how I was going to make it financially. I was done. I spoke with… Continue reading When Emotions Rise (Part 2)
Sow Now, Reap Later
I struggle with the path of humility in my career. I was listening to a radio program today on lunch and the husband of a couple was discussing his career path. Back in the day he was making half a mill a year. Craziness. The couple had a huge home, 2 kids and were on… Continue reading Sow Now, Reap Later
When Emotions Rise
God’s will is often challenging. Just when you think you’ve “made it”, there is another obstacle to be overcome. Now I know His word promises that we have in fact, already overcome those obstacles (Phil 1:6). But my emotions tend to think otherwise. They rise and hover over me in such a fashion that I… Continue reading When Emotions Rise

The Truth About “The Promise”
I’m in a prayer group for women who are standing on the Lord’s promise to bring them the man He has chosen for them. Wow, just typing that first sentence makes me feel super vulnerable! I never want people to think I’m “thirsty” or “weak” in this area, but I’m finding the balance with being… Continue reading The Truth About “The Promise”
I Forgot to Worship
I was on the phone with a friend the other day and she shared about a conversation she had regarding her employment. One of the people she spoke with made a comment, “You should always work in a job you are passionate about”. This person worked in HR and probably believed she was giving wise… Continue reading I Forgot to Worship

I can think of 2 events in my life that physically affected me because of the level of stress I was under. But generally speaking I don’t get stressed. I love to relax and rest and… Continue reading Letting Go
