This is Just a Chapter
“Well, this is a fine mess!” Isn’t that what we think when life throws us for a loop? Like we’ve stumbled into the wrong chapter of our own story. But hang tight, because shattered dreams are the very pages God uses to write the most incredible comebacks! We’ve all been there—broken relationships, financial upheavals, health…
Get Ready for Your Comeback
Sometimes life hits us with setbacks that leave us questioning our path, our abilities, and even our purpose. These moments can feel overwhelming, like a storm that won’t let up. But let’s remember this: every storm eventually passes, and what follows can be even more extraordinary than we ever imagined. Just look at Simone Biles…
Paris – the City of Lights
How fitting that Paris hosts the 2024 Summer Olympics. John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” As I watched the athletes, I saw that light shining brightly. The opening ceremony was a spectacle of monumental proportions, even as rain poured on athletes navigating the Seine River…
Unlike Ours — God’s Love is Unwavering
God’s Love is UnwaveringMy Mom had just traded in her old car and bought a new, baby blue Chevrolet Impala. Right away, I asked if I could drive my friend and me to my high school’s football game. I knew she was apprehensive, but she conceded. No sooner than I picked up my friend and…
Connecting the Dots
Remember that game? I do! You probably played it too, along with the numbers we connected by drawing lines to the next number and soon it unveiled a picture of something. “Connect the dots” is a phrase that has popped up today as a metaphor to illustrate an ability to find the “big picture” of…
Every Setback is a Setup for a Comeback
I suspect that all of us can come up with projects and plans and even places we were traveling to over the last several months – but it fell through because of the pandemic. We were disappointed about lost time with family for special occasions, a job promotion we might have missed, and no need…
This is What a “Comeback” Story Looks Like
It’s one thing to get inspired by this wall hanging in my daughter’s home, but it’s a testament to the words when you have a live and in-person comeback story that walks in your front door. These are Christina’s beautiful two grandsons who she is raising to be mighty men of God. They surprised me…
Disappointment or APPOINTMENT
I’ve given it few days since CNN’s headline: Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, pull off epic Super Bowl comeback”. Whether you are a 49ers or Chiefs fan or not a football fan at all, if you tuned into the Super Bowl game last Sunday night and watched it all the way to the…
God’s Not Dead. He’s Surely Alive.
The slang term “YOLO” certainly doesn’t apply to Jesus, does it? Whoever said “You Only Live Once” didn’t consider our Lord’s living, dying and living again forever! Jesus told his disciples “I’ll be back!” And, He kept His promise. Jesus made a comeback like no other. And, the over-the-top good news for us is whatever…
Be That Water Bottle — Gaining Momentum
Two years ago this month, I joined Solavei — (this photo is from the June, 2012 pre-launch event — about 156 of us were there — now there are over 400,000 of us). Like thousands of other Solavei members, I am a hard-working, fully-branded and ALL-IN Solavei member — not because of my kids, but…
