Seek God this Week: What do I need to change?

So yesterday, God spoke to me in a mighty way. My question to him, what do I need to change? And he spoke volumes to me.

You need to make sure you share your vision well, bold, and often!
Take care of what you have in order to prepare for what you will have.....
Change is inevitable, so embrace it.
Pray for your leaders, team, and family more than yourself.
Seek God for encouragement, not man. Man will fail you but God will not.
Always have a plan B.
There are more options out there.....don't settle.
When you're seeking me, I will appear and not your socks off!
My office, does it bring productivity or does it hinder it?

Lost of things to think about. What's kewl is that he spoke to Lance what he spoke to me!!

Awesome!!!

Seek God This Week - What can I tell God I'm thankful for?

What can I tell God I'm thankful for? I could thank His name all day......but here is a list that I came up with, not in any particular order:
  1. Because he loves me so much!
  2. His creation, earth, sky, oceans, mountains, stars, sun, moon, clouds, trees, grass, bushes, creatures that walk the earth (yes even those humans that frustrate me and hurt me). OK, even palmettos-they have to serve some other purpose than driving me crazy. OK, even spiders, I know that they have a greater purpose than to freak me out too!
  3. My son Liam. Wow! What a blessing he is to me and an everyday reminder of how much God really does answer prayers and gives you the desire of your heart.
  4. My husband who displays grace, mercy, compassion, wisdom, discernment, humor, passion, focus, humility, talent, support, understanding, and gentle correction. For having faith in me when I have little.
  5. Jennifer Tucholski: for her desire to grow closer to God by helping me become a more organized and affective leader.
  6. Grant Kuhn: for the hours of wonderful conversation that we can get lost in during our meetings. For his desire to help me grow as a leader and his compassion.
  7. Clay and Kim NeSmith: for their love, compassion, strength, wisdom, discernment, willingness to take a risk by selecting me to be on their team. For this constant leadership and teaching on growing as a leader in God's church. For their friendship.
  8. Michelle Mosley: for her love and friendship. Her wisdom and compassion during difficult times.
  9. Heather Vaughan & Kat Dennis: for their passion to serve the Lord and their desire for excellence. I love their humor and dependability.
  10. LaDonna Alexander: for her love and friendship. He wisdom, knowledge, and direction.
  11. Barefoot Staff.
