Is It Worth The Investment?
Embarking on a mission trip is more than just an opportunity to serve. People go on these trips because they are often motivated by the desire to serve others, to be a blessing and to make a difference in the world. But they often don’t expect the level of profound impact and personal growth that […]
My First Mission Adventure
I can still remember watching the ‘Fasten Your Seat Belt’ sign come on. As the plane began to descend I caught my first glimpse of the Andes Mountains. When the wheels of the plane hit the runway, my stomach was filled with butterflies as we landed at the tiny airport in Quito, Ecuador. It was […]
Discover Your Inspired Life Through Journaling
Are you living an “inspired” life? An inspired life is a lifestyle. It’s living up to your full potential, living the life of your calling and living a life of passion. When you are living an inspired life, you feel connected and you have purpose. Often times living your “inspired” life is likely to inspire […]
A Lesson in Letting Go
I watch a father and his daughter standing in the shallow waters along the shores of the lake. He holds his hands beneath her stomach, as if he were a juggler and she an object to keep in balance. He is teaching her how to swim. He explains to her how to let the water […]
Get Inspired. Stay Inspired.

It’s Time!
It all started in January of last year. There were some things God put on my heart and I couldn’t seem to shake them. I’m not sure if it was because my life was so full already and I didn’t need to add ‘one more thing.’ Or maybe I just thought the promptings would go […]
The Power of Laughter
Don’t you love to be around people who are fun? Not people who use fun in the wrong way – to belittle another person, but the kind of fun that makes you laugh till your stomach hurts! I loved being around my Grandpa – because he was so much fun. He loved telling jokes and […]
A Fly In The Perfume
Hundreds of years ago lived a king named Solomon. One night God spoke to Solomon in a dream and asked him to make a wish. God not only granted Solomon’s request for wisdom, but God also made him the richest king who ever lived. Solomon later wrote the book of Ecclesiastes, which is a sort […]
Embracing A New Opportunity
Every day is a new opportunity, another chance, a new beginning. I have found this to be true in my life over and over again. When we choose to follow Jesus, life becomes an exciting adventure! He is the One who knows the future and the One who holds the future. He is the One […]
