Jennifer LeClaire, founder of Ignite Network, writes about the “Ecclesiastes 3:7 season” we are in: “a time to speak…a time to tear away from toxic relationships, jobs and ministries and begin to sew up the hurts and wounds the enemy inflicted upon us in the last season… It’s a time to break the silence and […]
Distraction = Without Traction!
We live in an era where life is filled with myriad distractions. These disruptions can make us lose focus, waste time, and experience a loss of mental and even emotional energy. We get off track or lose the traction we need for moving forward in what we need to accomplish. Last week I kept hearing […]
Time and Your God-given Assignments
I am ever aware of time and its fleeting movement. Ticktock. Perhaps it especially echoes loud in my soul as I was so graciously given a second chance at more time at life on earth when I was young … it was a moment when circumstances would have decreed a departure from this life, one […]
Keys to Change: Creating New Norms
Life is full of change. Some change comes easily, some doesn’t. The beauty of change is that it has the power to create a new norm. The bad thing about change is that it has the power to create a new norm. The difference lies in what change has occurred. Over the past ten years […]
