As a 30 something I have a few special events under my belt. A few milestones I achieved which aided and abetted in supporting my culture’s definition of success. And at one time my definition as well. I realize now that the struggle in my 20s (and even at times, currently) was mostly due to… Continue reading Newsflash! Milestones are Overrated

Let Nothing Be Done in Selfish Ambition…
I have always considered ambition to be a good thing. Kind of like the opposite of laziness. But clearly scripture tells us ambition can actually be a bad thing…if it’s rooted in selfishness that is. Phil 2:3 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves” Sounds to… Continue reading Let Nothing Be Done in Selfish Ambition…
7 Years Later…
This month marks my 7 year anniversary with my current employer. It’s amazing how fast 7 years can fly by especially when working in an office environment where things can get a little…mundane. Unlike my friends who are teachers, there are no spring breaks, summer breaks, or winter breaks and thus we have other little… Continue reading 7 Years Later…
Waiting on the Suddenlies of God
“You went to the Bahamas Nicole”. That is what I tell myself from time to time when I get discouraged and fearful about God’s plan and will for my future. Am I the only one who is fearful of God’s plan for the future? Am I the only one who loves Him like crazy because… Continue reading Waiting on the Suddenlies of God
Dusting Off The Passport
So this morning I did something I haven’t done in a long time. I looked under my bed, dug out the box decorated in Paris, France symbols, and took out my passport. The passport I purchased nearly 4 years ago that has been collecting dust under my bed. And I smiled. Because now I will… Continue reading Dusting Off The Passport

For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the… Continue reading Lord of the Harvest
Guest Post: Healthy Christian Living for Professionals
Many of us have very busy lives. For some of us it is the sheer demand of our careers that prevents us from being someone other than a “worker”. The time and thought that must be put into a successful work day leaves us exhausted. We live our lives preparing for work, working, and resting… Continue reading Guest Post: Healthy Christian Living for Professionals
The Purpose Driven Life
I made a confession to someone other than myself yesterday about some things that were heavy on my heart. I confessed that I was struggling with my purpose. I know enough to know that one’s sense of purpose is related to one’s sense of value. And one’s sense of value is usually defined by those… Continue reading The Purpose Driven Life
It’s Our Time!: Key Lessons from “The Goonies”
One of the benefits of being an early 80’s baby is that I carry the fond memories of my 5-year-old self playing Nintendo with our next door neighbors, repeatedly watching MJ’s “Thriller” video (I actually used to think it was a movie b/c it was so long) and enjoying movies such as “Adventures in Baby-sitting”,… Continue reading It’s Our Time!: Key Lessons from “The Goonies”
Kingdom Business
This week I attended my first business convention and I will never be the same. And even though it was my first, I have a strong inkling that this convention was unlike any other. Speaker after speaker shared about their success and how the Lord had led them to this opportunity to obtain financial freedom… Continue reading Kingdom Business
