I thought we should do something fun here. What is a goal(victory marker😀) you are working on? What is something fun or new that’s happening in your life? New job, building a house, had a baby? Share it! I want to hear what’s happening for you! I love seeing people succeed and step into new areas in life. Maybe you’re not where you want to be -share what you’re working towards! What do you need to achieve it? How can we support each other? Can we be accountability partners for each other?

I don't ask for much, but right now, my son, John, needs prayers. Thank you in advance.

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!

I own that part of my struggle to stay focused and repeat the cycles has been my embarrassment in not understanding where to post. I also have many words and trying to wrestle through my “whys” takes time and results in a lack of follow through with assignments. Overcoming “doing it wrong” here is my first assignment that’s a beginning and is this where I am to post?
