Dear Dad,
I was at a wedding this past weekend and reality set in. I watched the bride dance with her father and a sadness hit me. I’ve known for the last 3 1/2 years that would never happen at my wedding, but Saturday night I finally knew. It was real.
I didn’t allow myself to cry because that day wasn’t about me. It was a celebration for the bride and her groom as they committed to spend the rest of their lives together. But my heart cried.

Have you ever spoken something only to wish you could take it back? Ya, me too. Our words are powerful, whether we’re speaking them to ourselves or others.
In her book, Bless These Lips, author Sharla Fritz examines things we say that get in the way of our relationships with God and with others. Each chapter draws on lip product analogies and uses humor, anecdotes, and observations to introduce Scripture passages that address common behaviors and attitudes. I’m excited for you to read it!
I had the privilege of bringing Sharla straight to you in this interview and I’m excited to be a part of such a great message.

You’re a
hobby blogger if you use your blog as a way of communicating what’s going on in your life with friends and family. No more, no less. Some of my favorite blogs, ever, are hobby blogs.
You’re a
business blogger if you’re making money –
any money – from your blog. Do you sell ad space on your blog? Do you post affiliate links? Do you write sponsored posts? Even if you aren’t getting rich, you’re a business blogger if
any of these things are happening on your blog.
So this post is dedicated to you, the business blogger.

Do you? Have you tried? Sure we can manage to get the house and planner organized… but organizing is a life of itself. It is hard to live a full life and have any time left to organize.

I’m always looking for ways to simplify my life. Usually I look for ways to do it, but it doesn’t go beyond that. I find ideas to implement, then I toss them aside. God’s been working on that with me. He’s been showing me lately I have to create more margin in my life to make room for His work. Parts of it have been easy; other parts not so much.

Using my “no muscle” as Henry Cloud and John Townsend refer to it, isn’t always easy. Deep down I’m a people pleaser. I enjoy serving others and making them happy. But that can wear me out and keep me from pursuing the calling God has put on my life.
I don’t want to be busy, I want to be productive. The more simple my life is, the more productive I can be.
