Goal Setting: Week of September 13, 2015

So...I'm pretty sure I spent more time this week doing stuff for everyone else than I actually did working. Here's what I actually did: One kid got pinkeye (so she went to the doctor and was home for a day), another got a concussion (so we spent 2 hours waiting in a walk-in clinic that day).  My dad needed extra help this week, which took up two days.  I had homework out the wazoo.  Not to mention invitations that needed to be put together, phone calls to be made, emails to send, and some design work for my husband's business.…

Reading List Review: September 2015

I was so excited to get so much reading done this month!  Four of the books I finished were part of my research for my upcoming book, and two of them I did for book reviews.  You can find my review of Through a Man's Eyes by clicking here.  As of right now, I only have one more research book to finish before I can dive back into writing, and I should be finishing that book this week.  Don't be too sad, but my reading may be down next month since my focus will be on writing this month.  Anyway, without…

Right now, I'd like to be upstairs on my bed hanging upside down.  I know it sounds strange, but I find myself to be the most creative when I am upside down. I've been trying to work on the book a lot this week.  I have at least one full chapter done and a couple of chapters that appear to possibly be done, but I'm really not sure.  At this point, I'm hoping to have this thing finished by November 30, but I don't know if that will be the case or not. Regardless, my brain is playing tricks on…

BOLD Women in Ministry

Today, I am beyond excited to send you over to my friends at Broken Beautiful BOLD Ministries, where they have featured my blog as one of their BOLD Women in Ministry! Many of you out there reading may not see blogging as a ministry, but here at home in front of my computer, I feel as though I am in ministry.  Writing is a gift God has given me to share with others.  How I share my gift with others is by encouraging others to continue in their walk with God and not to give up even when the going…

Grace Unknown

Grace. What does that word mean to you? I have to admit that it never really meant a lot to me, even though I accepted Christ when I was five (or younger).  I mean, I knew that that's what God extended to us when He died on the cross to save us from our sins.  I knew that Jesus was the spotless lamb of God that came as the sacrifice for our atonement. But yet. All my life, I never really felt grace, never really knew grace until recently. My entire life has been about performance.  Maybe if I do everything right, people…
