I have to cancel today’s call, my cycle has taken me out for the day🤦🏽‍♀️ I look forward to seeing you all next week! Or maybe an Impromptu live later this week.

My word from Papa today: “Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” These words seem to wrap me up and hold me today. What my heart heard when I read those words is that He will hold me in my hardest times and my biggest questions. And my dreams and desires MATTER. We as a family are cycling back around to Week 1 of Connection DNA this week. If you have not taken advantage of this content, now is the perfect time to start. 🤗 If you think you don’t have time, it can be as simple as pushing play when you’re driving. And in case you’re wondering, the first video is only less than 9 minutes long. You probably have time. 😉 Many of us hold back because we’re not sure we’ll get it right, but remember: “It is more important to take action than it is to do it right.” I think I heard that from Carlos a long time ago, and it has often been my inspiration to “just get up and do it”. 💪🏼💪🏼 In my current season of life (motherhood and homeschooling), I listen to the videos while I’m getting ready in the morning. Richard is usually driving by then, so I call him and we share verbal Gratitudes and Worthies on the phone. Later, after the children are up and have had their breakfast, we share verbal GW’s together while recording on Marco Polo so Richard can be a part of it. GW’s are a highlight of the children’s day! They love to hear what they’re worthy of, and it is so precious to see them learn to hear our desires and speak that over us in GW’s. 🥰 They really are so observant and sensitive to the environment we create for them! 🌷 On mornings when any family member is feeling big emotions and struggling with their attitude, I also see this daily exercise shift the atmosphere. Trust me, there have been many days where I felt like we didn’t have time, and I really needed to get started with my to-do list for the day, but over time, I learned that it is always worth it to prioritize those few minutes of intentional togetherness, and my productivity level usually goes up rather than down, because we all feel the stability and peace that gratitude brings.

Big things are happening!! Here's the recording!

Mater your breathing!

This morning I listened to CDNA 4.1; my two biggest takeaways were 1) Be intentional with what I listen to/read/watch, and 2) Take action and I will get results. Recently I was challenged by a Truth (I don’t recall who said it): sometimes it is better to move ahead with something less-than-perfect, rather than get hung up trying to perfect my outcome before moving on. Example: I can spend all day perfecting a marketing video for social media, or I can crank out 5 videos that are a little less than perfect. In today’s world of AI, there are instances where some imperfections are actually good - it indicates a real human creator rather than an AI machine. One more thing I’ve been considering for a while: does the 80/20 rule apply to effort/perfection? The idea is that 20% of the total effort is expended to achieve 80% perfection, and the other 80% of the effort goes into achieving the last 20% of perfection. If you have any thoughts on this, I would love to hear them! Y’all have a great day!
