So, with last week ending a series and next week starting a series, we are in a week of transition.  And really that is what this week has been all about….meaning the week between Christmas and New Year.  It is my favorite week of the year because it is quiet, there isn’t that much going on and I can just breath, think, and be. Every year I use this week to reflect on areas of my life, give gratitude, dream a little and just talk to God about bigger things than I normally get to on a daily basis.  I go through a process that allows me better insight to setting goals and getting ready to accomplish them.   It is this exact system that I have been teaching to our Life Balance members this week.  If you are not a life Balance member, you can still join us! The great thing is that we are walking through a pre-recorded course that you can start r

Join us in Life Balance Membership as we get ready for the new year in a whole new way!  We start live on December 26th, but you can join anytime and go through the recorded 7-day training.  We will be taking an assessment of each area of life, seeking God, and setting a clear vision for the first 90-days of the new year!  This new training will help you clear the fog and set you up for the best year yet!  Start your free 7-day trial by clicking here.

Welcome to our special holiday series, Walking with Jesus.  Each week leading up to Christmas we will hear a testimony of what Jesus is doing in the life of a fellowing working mom.  It's my hope that through hearing these powerful stories, we will keep our focus on what we are really celebrating at Christmas. This week we hear from Emily Will as she shares her testimony of how God answered her prayers in his own timing and in his own way.  Have you ever thought that God wasn't going to answer your prayer?  Emily saw God's faithfulness after 5 years!  By trusting God and waiting on his timing, the answered prayer was so much better because of the lessons learned and the blessings that came along with it.

Last week we talked about how to come back when we face burnout.  This week, we are talking about the other thing that takes us away from being the best we can be...falling out of balance.  More importantly, we are talking about how you can get back on track after you have fallen off your balance. Here's the thing, balance is not a place to arrive to.  It’s not an accomplishment. It is a verb.  It’s an action that we choose to take each day in our lives to be the best version of ourselves in all that God has called us to be.
