Tears of Joy!

Redeemed & Restored: Tears of Joy! There’s something about reading your story out loud. I wasn’t prepared for the impact it would have on me. So many times I had to stop and gather myself, take a deep breath, allow the tears of joy to flow and then restart again. I believe the process of…

Redeemed & Restored: Consumed by Success … Another Amazing Full Circle

Another amazing full circle. God has been nudging me to get my very first book updated and back into print. It’s been a little less than 20 years since the first edition of Consumed by Success came out and I took a brave stand against the multi-level marketing (MLM) business model. To read the words I…

My quest for the word of the year …

I finally started my quest for the word of the year God would have for me during the last week of 2022. I was struggling with looking back over 2022 to see any repeating scriptures or thoughts from my journals. “Lord, I don’t have a clue what you are saying for 2023 and what…

Full Circles and Answered Prayers

Oh, what a difference a year makes! The conclusion of this week will launch us into a new year. 2023! Many of us will spend time reflecting, reminiscing and even comparing the past to the present in hopes for a better future. This is where I am today as I REFLECT on this holiday season.…

Welcome, I'm Athena!

I start each day by tithing the first hour to the Lord in prayer, reading the word, doing word studies of the Text, and asking God how I can live out what I am reading. This time is usually met with meditation on devotionals that are usually written by dead guys like Oswald Chambers, CS Lewis, Charles Spurgeon, AW Tozer, and Andrew Murray.

Right now, I’m reading a daily devotional with a friend called Tozer on the Almighty God for my focus for the day. It's fun to see individually what pulls us in to spur one another on to good deeds!

The Bible is filled with action steps to walk out in practical and intentional ways. This sets my day in motion to walk it out! I hope this is your heart, too.

Consider this a personal invitation to join me in this journey!

The “ah ha moment” that transformed me! 😃

Losing something near and dear to me was just part of my roller coaster of a week. Thankfully the ride was met with the safety bar of truth from the Word. Let me share the Word that kept me secure first and how that shaped my reaction to my loss. Beginning with encouragement from the…

When you’re too busy and distracted to heal…

So, I’m one week into this journey, and what do you know … a journal that ended up in Arizona as I emptied my suitcase to get it under 70 pounds last August found its way to my quiet time this morning. I found it eye-opening to go back in this journal from February of…

Freedom from the root and spirit of rejection…

A few weeks ago, I found myself struggling with an inability to trust someone who’d never given me reason to doubt them. I was overwhelmed by the narratives circling my brain assuming the worst about our relationship and her thoughts towards me when an email had not been responded to. As I processed my feelings…

Have you ever been under siege?

This morning was a sweet time in the Word, pondering all the ways the Lord has encouraged me . . . through His Word, through a song or a devotion, through clear answers to prayer, through creative orchestration of circumstances, through a person’s words of affirmation. Even through looking back in my journal and all…
