Gratitude:

I’m so grateful for all the amazing communities God has placed me in. Sometimes when pressure is high or when you are trying to accomplish big goals, you can start to rush past the people you are doing life with. You may start thinking you are doing it “for them” and forget that more importantly, you are doing it “with them”. And being present and spending quality time with them along the way is what matters the most.

Scripture:

1 Kings 3:6 (The Message)

⁶ Solomon said, “You were extravagantly generous in love with David my father, and he lived faithfully in your presence, his relationships were just and his heart right. And you have persisted in this great and generous love by giving him—and this very day!—a son to sit on his throne.”

Lessons Learned:

When things are intense, zoom out for a fresh perspective. And start to notice the people around you more, even when it feels like your “to do” list is so loud and trying to demand all your attention. Enjoy the journey with those you love!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus“

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will”

If you are curious how my daily 1:1 with God began…

In 2020, I was thrust into a new leadership role and knew I would need God’s help to step in and lead with excellence. So each week, I spent hours in praise, gratitude, and prayer. Eventually I lovingly gave it the nickname, “my weekly one on one with God” - similar to the personal time I spent on a business level with other leaders and my team.

Then in October 2024, things changed as God began to direct these one on one sessions, instead of me being the one to initiate them. God began waking me up early each morning, usually with music and songs He gave, and I began spending hours in His presence each day gaining wisdom, discernment, skills, and just learning of His deep love for me and others. At first, it was hard, as my body felt so tired. But over time I started to understand what a true privilege and honor this is. And later felt God nudge me to begin sharing it with others.
