Women in Purpose

Just recently, my heart was a little saddened at the thought that I had missed an opportunity to complete something that I believe was directly in line with my God-ordained purpose — but I had inadvertently dropped the ball by not following through. At first, I eagerly took on the challenge and worked with enthusiasm… Continue reading Missing Out on Purpose

At times, Purpose may not look at all how we may have envisioned it. We certainly may not have expected to stumble upon it by happenstance. Instead, we may have envisioned ourselves finding Purpose along a recognizable path of ease; without cracks or fissure; with all the answers laid out before us. But as our… Continue reading When Opportunity Knocks, Purpose Comes In

“I don’t ever want to repent that I gave you gifts that you did not use.” These words rang in my spirit as I sought to understand why I continued to struggle with getting on track and staying on track with Purpose. Distracted by the typical and not-so-typical challenges that often threatened my sensibilities. Whether… Continue reading A Message From Above

Double-crossed. My own words and thoughts were holding me captive but I didn’t know it. Somehow, I had correlated my thoughts about as truth. Never once did I challenge their validity. They were locked in my mind, feeding my soul. And for years, the thought of having little value or nothing meaningful to offer those… Continue reading Caught in the Crossfire

I marveled at the woman recently accepting a lifetime achievement award. So poised. So articulate. Platitude after platitude throughout her entire life. Intelligent, well read and a golden touch.

We were created to give what others need. The benefactors of our purpose-filled walk are the people whose lives are changed… Continue reading Purposed to Serve

I admit — excellence has not always been my strong suit. Not that I didn’t desire excellence in my life — or to be excellent for that matter. But somehow, I’d equated it with perfection. And instead of pursuing excellence, I chased perfection. How many of you know that perfection isn’t an easy capture? Being… Continue reading A Matter of Excellence

Know this without a doubt:  You were ordained for usefulness! You were born to make a difference. Think about it. How many people have made a positive impact in your life? Maybe it was the teacher who consistently encouraged you to do better because she recognized that you were capable.  Maybe it was the boss… Continue reading Ordained for Usefulness

Every once in a while, my mind wanders —venturing into that place not so long ago when I was stuck. A place of confusion where I pondered what had become of my life and how I’d gotten here. How had I meandered without direction for such a long time? A place where I asked the… Continue reading Finding the Way to Purpose
