Hey.. did you know Betty down the street spent the evening at Bob’s house the other night? I saw her car parked in the driveway. Can you believe she didn’t even have the audacity to hide her car? After all, she’s not even divorced yet. I don’t want to gossip, but I did want to let you know we should pray for her.
Well… I wasn’t going to say anything, but since you brought it up, Susie did get fired, but not for what you think. She was actually sleeping with her boss and word got out. Poor, poor thing. I wonder what she’ll do now. Lord knows she’ll never be able to make it on her own with that shopping addiction.
Before I go any further, let me admit my own guilt. I’ve gossiped. Probably more times than I care to admit. Oh.. the conviction that comes after.. it stinks.

I’ve been wishing I could come up with another word for 2016. I’ve tried to persuade God multiple times but we keep ending up in the same spot we started.
So….. I guess I’ll quit arguing and snuggle up with one of the most uncomfortable words in the human vocabulary.
T.R.U.S.T.
Eeeekkk.. Typing it out gets me both excited and queasy.

I’ve been struggling lately to balance my time – to fit everything in I think I need to make happen. That seems pretty crazy since my one word for 2015 is “No”.
I must be honest and admit I’m not ending this year the way I want to and it frustrates me. December feels too “busy”. My calendar is too full and I’m asking myself what I didn’t say no to that led me here.
As a matter of fact, life hasn’t gone according to plan in the last four months. I’ve been plagued by health issues causing annoying interruptions. A doctor here. An ER trip there. Tests on this day. Surgery on that day.
I was having lunch with an Esther’s House teammate the other day and heard myself say, “I think I’ve overcommitted.” I’d been thinking about it for a while, but hadn’t spoken it out loud. Now it’s real.

We are all designed for a bigger purpose, certain things individually unique to us. God has a plan for each of us, but sometimes we tune them out, don’t we?
I bet you’ve already had a lot of accomplishments in your life, even if you don’t think so. But maybe you’re at a point in your life where you feel stuck. Maybe busyness is distracting you. Maybe you’re believing a lie that’s keeping you held back. Maybe it’s fear.
Those last two are big ones for me.
Here is some good news, though. What if getting unstuck was easier than you thought? It is, my friend. But first, you need to ask yourself three powerful questions.

Here’s a simple, yet powerful question. What if you could improve your life in EVERY area?
What if you could measure yourself in the areas of life which matter most?
What if you could create the life you truly want? Your BEST LIFE EVER.
Well, now you can. I recently assessed my own LifeScore with the LifeScore™ Assessment from one of the greatest leaders I know, Michael Hyatt. He just introduced this awesome tool for a limited time and I’m super excited to introduce you to it. (My score was 90. I’d love to hear what yours is.)

Each morning I peruse through a variety of blogs on many different topics, including faith, fitness, and leadership. I’m also constantly reading a thought-provoking book that I’d love to sit over coffee with you and chat about.
Usually I share a few different pieces, but today I just want to focus on one, because…… it’s powerful!
Oh how I wish we could sit down over coffee and chat about how awesome our God is!
Happy reading, my friend.
