Broken to Beautiful; Take a Break From Alcohol and Grow Closer to God, Transform Your Body and Mind, and Uncover Your True Life Purpose

Happy Monday, friend! As we approach the end of 2022, it's important to reflect on our past decisions and learn from them. This week's verse, Proverbs 27:12, reminds us that sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, while unthinking people will walk right into it and regret it later. We all have moments where we know we should avoid certain things but choose to do them anyways. Let's t...

Hi Friend!  I wanted to share a personal story with you today, because I have a feeling maybe you have recently gone through a similar situation.  Someone broke into my husband's car earlier this week while he was at the gym, and stole his wallet and made several purchases at Walmart.  Yes, we were initially angry, but in my devotions the following day, God made it abundantly clear that I was to f...

Hello and welcome, my friend! On this Wednesday, I want to dive into a couple of chapters from Exodus about Moses and his struggles with self-worth despite being called by God to do great things. In a world that often places value on achievements and status, it's easy to forget that God calls and qualifies us for His purpose. Today, we will explore how Moses trusted in God's truth and overcame his...

Welcome to a new week! As always, I have a powerful verse to share with you. This week's verse comes from Psalm 86:11-13, and it's a prayer for guidance and a pure heart. It says, "Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart so that I may honor you. With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever, for your...

Hello Friend! Welcome to today's episode where we'll continue our discussion on gratitude. Let's shift our focus from what we don't have and appreciate the amazing life that God has blessed us with. Today, I'll be sharing a recent devotion I read titled "The Grumbler's Guide to Giving Thanks" that made me realize the importance of being grateful in all circumstances. Tune in and let's be inspired...

Hello and Happy Monday! Welcome back to our weekly Bible verse series. This week's verse is from Ephesians 4:29, "Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them." It's such a powerful reminder of the impact our words can have on those around us. It's easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment an...

Happy Wednesday!  And Happy Thanksgiving Eve!  I hope and pray you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow.  I know you're probably busy finishing preparations for tomorrow, but if you have a few minutes to spare today I really think this message will bless you.  I am sharing one day out of a book called, "40 Days to a joy-filled Life," by Tommy Newberry.  This is an amazing book...

Hi friend!  Happy Thanksgiving week!  Our verse of the week is a Thanksgiving verse (of course!)  "Always be joyful. Never stop praying.  Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.  I know it can be difficult at times to be thankful in ALL circumstances, but we do have so much to be grateful for and it's all about remembe...

Happy Monday, Friend!  I have a new verse of the week for you.  "A Servant of the Lord must not quarrel , but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people."  (2 Timothy 2:24 NLT)  This verse is in such alignment with our No Complaint Challenge!  It isn't always easy to deal with difficult people, right?  Hopefully this verse helps you remember what God's word sa...

Happy Monday, Beautiful Friend!  I hope you had an amazing weekend.  Our verse for this week is Psalm 90:12, "Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom."  I think this is such an important reminder for all of us.  I think we often take time for granted, thinking we have forever...   If we take a step back though, we realize that time is our most precious commodity and it is li...

Hi beautiful friend!  I hope you're having a great week!  How is the No Complaining Challenge going so far??  Today I wanted to share with you part of a devotion I recently read on marriage.  I don't know about you, but I don't think I treat my husband like the remarkable gift he is.  If our relationships aren't where we'd like them to be, there are always things we can do to improve them.  Today...

Happy Monday, friend!  Tomorrow is the day we start our No Complaining Challenge!  Are you ready?  I'm not sure if I am or not, but it's coming whether we like it or not!  In order to prepare our minds for the challenge, I thought it would be helpful to choose Philippians 2:14-15 as our verses to meditate on this week.  "Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize y...

Hi Friend!  I know you might still be on the fence about joining me in the No Complaint Challenge next week, but I just wanted to share another perspective with you.  I would love for you to join me and we can support each other together!  I encourage you to take some time over the weekend to pray about this and ask God to reveal to you if this something that will be a blessing in your life.     Y...

Happy Monday Friends!  Our verses for this week are Psalm 139:23-24, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life."  I know this one can be convicting, but I think it is important to begin each day asking God to search our hearts and let us know if we are doing anything that of...

Hi Friend!  I hope you're having a great week!  Today I wanted to share more about my morning routine with you.  I know sometimes we don't like getting up earlier than we absolutely have to, but I just encourage you to hear me out.  There have been many periods of my life where I did not choose to make my morning routine a priority, but the enjoyment that comes from a couple extra hours of sleep p...

Hi Friend!  Happy Monday!  This week's verse of the week is Galatians 6:9, "So let's not get tired of doing what is good.  At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up."  I know how discouraging it can be when we don't immediately see the success or results we are looking for, but as this verse says, if we don't give up, in GOD's timing we will reap a harvest of bl...

Hi Friend!  I'm so excited to have you join me for today's episode!  I don't know about you, but I have recently been doing some self-reflection and I'm embarrassed to say, I've been complaining WAY more than I'd like.  A couple of years ago, I ran across a book called, "A Complaint Free World:  How to Stop Complaining and Start Enjoying the Life You Always Wanted," by Will Bowen.  I started the c...

Hi Friend!  Happy Monday!  I hope and pray you had the most amazing weekend and are enjoying this beautiful fall weather!  I know we all struggle with worry, right?  There is a LOT going on right now that is out of our control... but worrying steals so much joy from us and doesn't allow us to be in the moment!  Please join me today as I share a word of encouragement to start the week!  God bless y...

Hi friend!  I'm so glad you are joining me for today's episode!  I will be sharing with you a beautiful quote by Marianne Williamson.  This is a quote I read often when I need some encouragement and a reminder that playing small does NOT serve the world.  I know YOU have something so incredible to offer the world and today's episode is going to remind you of what that is.     We would love you to...

Hi Friend!  I don't know about you but I have been feeling exhausted lately.  We recently got a new puppy and she is.... well let's just say, she has quite the personality and is VERY independent.  My routine has been thrown off lately and I was at the point of extreme exhaustion, but as always, God's word spoke to me in the perfect time.  If you too are feeling drained and depleted and in need of...

Hello friend!  Happy Monday!  This week's verse of the week is all about love.  Wouldn't more love solve so many problems in the world?  I know it can be hard to show love when we feel so divided, but didn't God command us to love one another?  I hope this reminder blesses you this week as we strive to be more loving in every situation and to every person we encounter.  The change begins with US....
