“All business all the time” That’s my unofficial motto. I’m a serious, contemplative type. I’ve always been accused of acting twice my age. (I used to take that as a compliment.) So along with my seriousness, comes a slowness to laugh, especially at myself. This week in all staff meeting I had my best (or […]
Today at Cross Point we continued the series This is Our God with a message from Blake about God’s Sovereignty. It was such a powerful reminder of God’s greatness. That He does reign. In spite of our circumstances… in spite of whether we believe it to be true… God is sovereign. He reigns! My day […]
Remember that day in elementary school when you walked out of the bathroom with your skirt stuck in the back of your tights? Or the day that you wore your pajamas to school and it was not pajama day? I had one of those moments recently. After returning to the office from a lunch meeting, […]
Strong. People often use that word to describe me. But honestly, I’m anything but strong. That’s a vulnerable statement as a leader. Leaders are supposed to be strong, right? Everyone looks to a leader to be strong. And once you’re described as strong, that’s the role you play for everyone in your life. You’re counted […]
One of my favorite parts of my job is planning and leading our staff trips. We just got back from two days in the Smokey Mountains. We piled into a beautiful cabin and tucked ourselves away for some time to laugh, learn and grow together. Some of my favorite moments this year were: Campfire confession […]
Chick-fil-A It’s one of my favorite fast food restaurants. If you’ve experienced the brilliance of THE chicken sandwich, this probably comes as no surprise. However my love of Chick-fil-A has less to do with their chicken and more to do with their atmosphere. Chick-fil-A is also known for their polite and respectful staff. “My pleasure”… […]
Have you ever had a plan in mind…what you wanted to be when you grew up, where you saw yourself in ten years, how high on the ladder you hoped to climb…and you find yourself looking around at your life and thinking, “This is NOT what I was expecting!” Sometimes our best-laid plans don’t materialize […]
One of the greatest monsters that I wrestle with in my leadership is being confident in the calling and gifting God has for me. I battle the usual suspects of insecurity, fear and the obsessive need to compare myself to others. These enemies to my confidence can get the best of me if I let […]
Life has seasons. Some good. Some bad. Some slow. Some busy. Ministry also has seasons and I’m in one of those really busy ones. The season where you hold on for dear life and pray that you don’t steamroll everyone around you in your haste and intensity. Most of the time I really thrive in […]
I’m still trying to catch my breath from a great week at Catalyst. I left immediately from Atlanta to join my extended family in Orlando for a week of family vacation. Can you say W H I R L W I N D? And although a few days have past, I would be remiss if […]
