I shared in yesterday's post that I went and spoke at a camp for teenage girls in my church this week (remember? Before coming home to a chewed-up shoe? I'm not still bitter...).

It was a powerful experience that I feel I want to share.

I was invited to speak about Divine Identity, and they gave me m...

I had a prospective client consultation yesterday, during which she shared that she actually found me through... wait for it... ChatGPT. (!!?) It blew my mind! 

I didn't have a ChatGPT marketing strategy; heck, I've barely had any kind of marketing strategy for my web design business, other than word...

One of my favorite stories in the scriptures is of a man who is instructed by God to build a ship to transport his family across the sea. This man had never built a ship, but he didn't use that as an excuse. His first question in response was, "Where should I go to find ore, to molten and build tool...

It's really easy to hide from your dreams. I've been practicing it for years. It looks really noble, like sticking with what you know for the stability of it, and it works. You get better and better at what you know, and you see great results. But there comes a point when you reach the edge of the s...

I have a great friend who has the perfect expression of amazement. She says, "Holy wow!" I smile so big every time she says it. 

I've decided to adopt it for those times when something incredible pops up in my life, that is an undeniable blessing from God (I also like to call them "God winks"). 

This ...

Momentum is one of the very best friends you can ever have. She'll take you to higher heights than you could ever dream of reaching on your own, and show you what you're really capable of -- over and over again. 

But this friendship must be intentionally nurtured and maintained; otherwise she can tur...

A fetus develops for about 37-40 weeks before anyone sees what she actually looks like (minus some rough scans, depending on where the mother lives and what her healthcare coverage is like). 

The mother knows her baby is there, without any doubt. The more time goes on, the more she feels that reality...

Today, we celebrated our twin girls' 14th birthdays. I spent some time this morning reflecting on the miracles that surrounded their emergency premature delivery and found myself in tearful awe of the many ways we saw God's hand in the experience. 

I'll spare you the details, and tell you that I re...

It's impossible for a newborn to fly a plane. 

It's impossible for a kindergartener to discover a cure for disease.

It's impossible for a high school junior to run for President.

Impossible is based on the present moment and existing resources. With design, focus, time, and connections -- magnifi...

I grew up singing a children's song at church that has guided many of my decisions, but it wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I found a new, even more powerful way to apply it. Here are the lyrics: 

I love the story in the New Testament of when Jesus was teaching a group of people from Simon's boat on the shore, and afterward told Simon to take his boat into deep water. Simon told Him that he and his friends had been fishing all night without catching any fish, but was willing to take the boat ...
