Good morning! Good morning! Good morning!

Can you even believe it is almost Thanksgiving?

It seems like we were just ringing in the New Year, doesn’t it?!

My Mom and Dad always used to say how fast time goes…I am thinking they were right!

As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach, I want us to do something different this year.

This idea came to me as I was in HomeGoods yesterday. I had a short list of the “things” I “needed”.

However, when I walked through the door, I felt a rush, a huge rush of OVERWHELM.

Have you ever wondered what in the world your purpose is?

You are in very good company.

I have had this conversation with countless friends over the years.

We all want to be used by God. We all want to make a difference in our little families and communities.

I have discovered the answer, I believe, is simple.

Last January, I turned 50.

Everything seemed pretty much the same, no big changes.

Fast forward this past September…and whew!

My body began acting like a foreigner had invaded and completely taken over.

Sleepless nights, anxiety out of nowhere, weird aches and pangs.
