How Do I Center Myself In God?
Morning friends, If you’ve been praying for me, thank you. I’ve had a whirlwind month of speaking and traveling and I’m pretty wiped out. I’m home for the next two weeks and looking forward to getting my paperwork cleaned up. Have you gone paperless? If so, what did you do first? What scanner did you use? Did you have a…
Putting My CORE Strength To The Test
Morning friends, I’m in California visiting my sweet granddaughters. Two of them have birthdays this month so we are celebrating at Disney, a child’s favorite place to be. Instead of answering a question this week I want to talk a little bit about how important it is that we learn to live from our CORE instead of our emotions. No…
Trading Up By Letting Go
Morning friends, Thank you so much for all your prayers while I was in Nashville and for Chris Moles and my workshop. We received so many positive comments from those who participated and our booth was full of people who wanted to learn more. Chis and I will be doing a free webinar soon on the things we taught so…
Am I Expecting Too Much?

Consequences In Action – What Worked And What Failed
Morning Friends, One of the biggest criticisms I receive about my work with women in destructive relationships is that I speak to the “victim” about recognizing her part of the destructive dynamic. To my critics, that feels like I blame her for being abused in the first place. Let me be crystal clear. If you are a victim, you are…
When Do I Put Consequences In Place
Morning friends, Can you believe that summer is on its way out? Life is going way too fast for me. This past weekend I had the opportunity to be in Chicago with some good friends visiting the Windy City. We had a great time taking a boat tour down the Chicago River, eating pizza and all my other favorite Chicago…
Does My Husband Always Have The Final Say?
Morning friends, Today’s question comes from your comments last week about the issue of headship and submission. A reader said, “My husband won’t let me work even though it’s a job I would love. His reasons are lame but I have no choice, I have to submit.” I won’t be able to cover everything around this important topic but I…
I’m Too Afraid to Make a Change
Morning friends, The psalmist asked himself “Why am I downcast? What’s going on? (See Psalms 42 and 43). Depression is often a response to something that is wrong, either in our inner life, in our outer life, or/and in our body. Today’s question is from someone who struggles with depression and is paralyzed by fear. I’m sure many of you…
