  • Work and Family – Keep God at the Center

    Balancing work and family can feel like juggling. Sometimes you’re in the groove, and other times, you’re dropping balls over and over again! The trick to finding peace in all the chaos? Keep God at the center of it all. Focusing on Him is key to balancing all the things you are juggling in life. So, how do we do that?


    Seek Him

    Matthew 6:33 says, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you.” When we put God first, He helps us get our priorities straight. Family is a blessing, and work is a calling, but neither should overshadow your relationship with God. Make time each day for Him. Find what works for you and spend time in the Word and prayer. It doesn’t have to be long, but it does have to be meaningful.


    Find time to Rest

    Jesus showed us the importance of rest and balance. He knew when to step away from the crowds and take time to recharge (Mark 6:31). It can be hard, but setting boundaries between work and family time is critical to creating balance. Protect family dinners, weekends, or even those quiet moments when you are able to slow down and connect with your loved ones. Tips:

    1. Set your phone to “do not disturb” mode after work hours.
    2. Schedule time to rest or spend time with friends and family.

    Give Yourself Grace

    No one is perfect. There will be days when work is overwhelming, and family time feels short, or you make mistakes. That’s okay! Trust in God’s grace to cover your efforts and know that He honors your desire to serve both faithfully.

    With God’s guidance, balancing work and family can be less of a struggle and more of a joy.

  • Setting Boundaries: Loving Others Without Losing Yourself

    Let’s talk about something super important to me: setting boundaries. It can be tough, especially when you want to be there for everyone. But guess what? Healthy boundaries are a gift from God! They help us love others—and ourselves—better.

    1. Jesus Set Boundaries
      Take a cue from Jesus. He was the ultimate example of love, right? But even He knew when to say no. Jesus often took time to pray and recharge (Luke 5:16). He made time for Himself, even when people were vying for His attention. Setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s crucial for being fully present where God wants you to be!
    2. Learn to Say No
      Saying no can be hard. I get it! But Matthew 5:37 reminds us that our “yes” should be yes, and our “no” should be no. When you overcommit, you risk feeling stressed and drained. That’s not good for anyone! Be prayerful about where God wants you to invest your time and energy.
    3. Guard Your Heart
      Proverbs 4:23 tells us to guard our hearts. Setting boundaries isn’t just about managing time; it’s also about protecting your peace. This might mean distancing yourself from toxic relationships or limiting time on social media. Boundaries help you stay spiritually healthy.

    With clear boundaries, you can show up for others while staying true to God’s awesome plan for your life! You’ve got this!Replace selected block text

  • Shining for Jesus Every Day

    Hey there, friend! Have you ever pondered what it means to be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world”? Jesus calls us to this in Matthew 5:13-16, and it’s simpler than you might think!

    1. Sprinkle Some Salt
      Think about salt for a moment. It adds flavor and preserves food. Similarly, we’re called to bring goodness and truth into our world. This can be as straightforward as:
    • Sharing a kind word with a stranger.
    • Encouraging a friend who’s having a tough day.
    • Standing up for what’s right when you see injustice.

    These small actions might seem insignificant, but they make a big impact! When you sprinkle a little love, you’re sharing Christ’s heart with everyone around you.

    1. Shine Your Light
      Now, consider light. It’s not meant to be hidden away! Jesus encourages us to let our light shine brightly. This involves:
    • Living authentically.
    • Sharing your faith when the opportunity arises.
    • Showing love and kindness in everyday moments.

    When you let God’s joy shine through you, people will notice! Your light points others to Jesus.

    So, let’s go out there and be that salt and light! Show the world the goodness of God in everything you do. You’ve got this!
