How can we be praying for you during this time? Our organization is gathering (virtually of course) to pray as a team and then we are also spending time throughout the day indvidually praying. I would love to lift up the concerns or situations that have been weighing on your heart. Feel free to PM or post them below. "If two of you agree to ask God for something in a symphony of prayer, my heavenly Father will do it for you. For wherever two or three come together in honor of my name, I am right there with them!” (Matthew 18:19-20, MSG)

How has your life or business been impacted by the state of our world right now? Many speakers have had conferences and retreats cancelled. Many businesses are dealing with the loss of revenues. (Unless you are the toilet paper and hand sanitizer industry.) Many individuals have had to rearrange schedules due to cancelled trips, school closings or businesses implementing social distancing. It may feel like everything you have been working towards is up in the air. You may be tired, discouraged and frustrated but don't give up. You are not alone. Lean on God, lean on your family and friends and know that you have a choice.
You can choose to let the virus win and I don't mean the covid 19 virus, but rather the toxic mindset virus. That virus will steal your hope, joy and peace. It will have you operating from a place of fear and making decisions that limit you rather than elevate you and your business.
Growing up we had a saying "feed a cold, starve a fever" well with all that is going on in the world I want us to feed our faith and starve our fears. We are not the first to go thru challenging times and we won't be the last. So I encourage you to stay the course, keep believing and don't give up. Reframe what you are experiencing and see the opportunities not the obstacles. For when you do I believe you will see beauty unfold from these ashes. I believe that you will receive greater things than you thought possible. #staythecourse #joyfueledliving

We live in a world of drive thrus but what we need are breakthroughs. Drive thrus are about getting something now while breakthroughs are about waiting for something greater. Drive thrus are about is while breakthroughs are about what will be. Drive thrus keep us playing small while breakthroughs create space for us to give it our all. What breakthrough do you need in your life or business? And how are you waiting for that breakthrough? Are you waiting with joy and expectancy or grumbling and impatiently? Max Lucado once said "waiting is an expectant patience. It is patience that says "I don't know what God is going to do, but I know God is going to do something." Your breakthrough is coming but we must be patient and filled with expectation. Just like a farmer has to wait for harvest season we must wait for our breakthrough season. Don't settle for a drive thru experience when your breakthrough experience is on its way. #breakthrucoming #joyfueledliving #waitexpectantly #havepatience

One of the things I love about living in the Pacific Northwest are the mountains. Mountains are majestic and mystical. They get to be grounded here on earth and yet reach towards heaven. I have never climbed a mountain but I imagine when you reach the peak you feel like you have transcended to a place of divine inspiration. And yet many times when people talk about the "mountains" in their lives it sounds less inspirational and more of an interruption or inconvenience. We see mountains as problems that hinder us or make us fail but what if the mountains are there for a different reason? What if the mountains in our lives are there to bring out greater things within us? What if the mountains are there to reveal our true resolve and desires? What if the mountains are not obstacles but opportunities? What mountains are you facing in your life, your relationships, your business, your finances, your health and how can use those to break thru rather then let them break you down? Today let's be mountain movers and watch amazing shifts happen in our lives! #mountainmover #joyfueledliving

Have you ever traveled someplace and once you return back home it almost feels like a dream that you were even in another place just a few short days ago? It has only been three days since I left Rwanda and yet as I reflect on a few of these pictures from the trip it feels like a dream. I had the honor of leading a vision team for Africa New Life and sharing why when God invited me to take a leap of faith and move to OR to work for this ministry that empowers transformation in communities and lives in Rwanda this past year, I did not hesitate to say "yes." Each time I go back to Rwanda I am inspired by all the stories of courage, hope and possibilities. I love that each person I meet has a dream for a better tomorrow and they are not just sitting around wishing but rather they are doing the work necessary to make that dream a reality. Each person is refusing to play small or settle for less. They are doing what they can to make their dreams happen. Whether it is women learning a trade to earn income for their families, college students going to university to earn a degree that will allow them to become leaders in their communities and country, youth who are daily deciding that their education is a game changer and doing all they can to pass national exams in order to set themselves up for future success. Every dreamer needs a champion behind them someone who believes in them, prays for them and is willing to invest in their dream. Will you be a champion for someone's dream whether thru sponsorship or a scholarship? To learn more about Africa New Life and how you can be a champion for change go to www.africanewlife.org and if you want to come on a vision trip to Rwanda to meet some of these amazing dreamers in 2020 message me. #africanewlife #visiontrip2020 #transformlives #championofchange #unleashdreams

One of the themes in a lot of Disney movies is courage. Whether in "Brave" when Merida has the courage to change her fate or in "Finding Nemo" when Marlin has the courage to go out and look for Nemo or in "The Lion King" when Simba has the courage to return to Pride Rock. Courage isn't just something we find in movies though we find it in everday people who are pursuing their dreams or trying to make a better life for themselves or the people they care about. Yesterday I got to meet this amazing women who is 70+ years young who had the courage to start a prison ministry in Rwanda and is now sharing God's message of forgiveness and reconciliation to folks in many countries in East Africa. She boldly goes into these prisons to pursue the calling and dream God has placed on her heart. How can you courageously pursue your dream today? Maybe you can boldly declare what your dream is to someone. Maybe you choose to work with someone to even discover what your dream is. Maybe you say yes to an opportunity even though you don't feel qualified for it but it is one step closer to your dream being realized. Dreams require courage because they require us to step outside our comfort zones and take risks. Today be courageous, be bold and watch your dream unfold! #joyofdreams
