All of us show faith every day. If we get on a jet airplane, we trust the pilot knows how to fly. We pump gas into our cars without verifying it really is gasoline and not water. Let’s trust our Creator, who is good, to provide what we need. He’s always awake, and never tired of hearing our prayers. Have faith, not doubts…

Why Try?
Have you ever wanted to try something new and different, but fear held you back? You know in your heart that it’s right and noble, but you can’t quite get the courage to try. If you face the unknown, step out in faith and give it everything you have in you, you just might succeed. Why try? Why not?
Self-Sufficiency…
It’s a challenge to remain humble in a culture that screams, “look at me.” When we consider and understand that everything good comes to us from God, we realize we aren’t self-sufficient. It’s not us. It’s Him…
Integrity…
Having integrity means our actions align with what we say. Honest, hard working and truthful people have integrity. It’s time to take a stand for doing what’s right, no matter the cost…
Struggling Kids…
Yesterday I was privileged to speak to a group of foster children. It felt great to be speaking again, especially with kids. I was an insecure, angry, struggling kid myself, and because of my upbringing I connect with kids.

Lists…
We make grocery lists, to-do lists, and lists to remind us of the errands we have to accomplish. I keeps another list: it’s a list of people I want to interview for my podcast. It’s a list of people I want to have dinner with. A list of people whose story I want to know better. And I reach out to the people on the list, trying to engage. And I refuse to give up, putting God in the driver’s seat to connect us. Make your own list. And keep going…
Time Flies…
It is said that “time flies when you’re having fun.” It’s true. Vacations never seem long enough. Time passes quickly when you are focused on what you love to do. We only have so much time on this earth. Make it count…
Blind Spots…
Everyone has blind spots. The good people in our lives point them out, using gentleness and self-control…
Honesty…
Most people are honorable and tell the truth. But are we always honest with ourselves? Everyone has blind spots. This is why it’s important to have good friends who will gently point them out to us. When you are in that position, remember to deliver the message with gentleness and self-control…
