Something to BlessPassing the Test by Trusting the ProcessIn this episode, Barbara reflects on a season of deep discouragement and the moment she realized it wasn’t a setback but a test of faith.

2023-03-0745 minSomething to BlessI Want to Age Gracefully But It’s So HardIf there is one thing we all have in common, it's that WE GETTIN' OLD out here! Every day, our little cells grow larger and larger and pretty soon, they slow down their ability to divide and multiply, which for you and me means one thing: AGING.
While aging is a gift because it means God has given us another day of life, it's not always so enjoyable. Between new wrinkles, poor eyesight ,and achy joints, aging can be downright annoying.
But, it's a fact of life and one that we should all embrace...or at...

2022-09-2012 minSomething to BlessThe Compound EffectOne of my mentors, Sean Croxton, has this saying: Little by little, a little becomes a lot. If you want to have any result in life, you must start with what you have, no matter how small it seems.
By principle, we are designed to multiply and increase. This is how God planned it. But for so many of us, we allow impatience, disbelief, and lack of commitment, to hold us back. The result? We never realize some of our greatest dreams and desires.
Now, that's a shame.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down what forgiveness really means and how we're all called to demonstrate it.
In order to have true peace, you may need to forgive those who have hurt you in the past by releasing the anger, hurt, and pain that you have carried and placing it into th...

2022-08-0223 minSomething to BlessIt Won’t Happen Until You Decide It willPart of creating the life you desire is your ability to decide to do so. If we could learn to be firm in our minds about what we will or will not accomplish, everything would be different.

In today's episode, I'm reading a powerful article that teaches us how to become a firm decision maker. Good stuff.
