This year many at risk families lack the resources

This year many at risk families lack the resources needed for their kids to thrive. Go to Eastside.com/drive and I hope to see you at the Anaheim campus on the 15th!

We were supposed to be in Nashville this week but

We were supposed to be in Nashville this week but we met on Zoom instead. Thanks to @chrissurratt for gathering us together.

These days I tear up when I see people, even on Zoom. Is it just me or so you do that too?Our souls were not meant for isolation and crave connection.

We shared ideas about connecting our people and the challenge of small groups in these times. I came away encouraged and thinking about new ways to connect this fall!

Small groups, even on Zoom, help people stay connected.

I have been blessed to have strong women in my life who saw potential when I was broken. Women who challenged me to find healing and to speak the truth. Women who cheered me on as I pursued dreams. I am grateful to have had so many strong women in my life and hope I can encourage other women!

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thess 5:11

My early morning quiet time musts. I have 20 plus

My early morning quiet time musts. I have 20 plus years of journals at this point but this year I built in consistency and more time in the Bible. It centers me and sets the tone of my day. The word of God is active, living and guides me. When things seemed uncertain and fears started to settle in I knew this time each day was the only way to overcome all the noise and find peace. Here are the 3 mainstays of my morning quiet time.

1. ESV Bible by @paulsleatherco I had been looking at this Bible for awhile and bought it as reward for paying all my credit card debt off along with meeting two other significant financial goals. It was a little extravagant and when it came literally two days after we were sent home to work and the stay at home started, I felt a little guilty.

It has been my lifeline and the start of most mornings. It is large type so I don’t have to struggle😂. No study notes just the Bible.

I love the mission of the company and the beautiful raw leather Bibles.

2. My beautiful yearly prayer journal by @valmariepaper. This is the third year I have used this yearly journal. It keeps me focused and has sections for journaling and gratitude. A little capsule of what was on my heart and what mattered each year.

3. New Morning Mercies by @pauldavidtripp is a new addition thanks to @cassthompsonconsulting and @kenzsherman. This book is better than the hype- like he reads my mind each day. Great devo to start each morning.

Still a work in progress but each day God miraculously meets me and I am grateful.

What is your morning routine? What are the tools you use to make it happen?

Almost one year ago I had breakfast with my nephew

Almost one year ago I had breakfast with my nephews and mom. We took the photo on the left and seeing it propelled me to make some changes. I got honest with myself and set out to make many changes.

I changed the way I ate and lost 20 pounds which a year later have stayed gone. I just felt better.

I made a list of what I really wanted in life and worked hard on my finances. I sought God in a deeper way and more consistent level.

What I love is how Jesus is all about redemption. How he meets us where we are and how we can lay down everything at his feet. I have seen so many little ways he met me, provided in crazy ways as I worked hard to meet some year end goals.

Each year I select a word for the year and my 2020 was BOLD. I knew to do the things God had places on my heart I needed to be bold.

When I ended up living in a hotel after a plumbing issue, walking with Mom through her cancer journey and then came the pandemic, my word seemed to mock me.

This time we are in is unprecedented and hard yet good things have come. Time to reorder and reprioritize. Time to rest and restore. Little moments that maybe we didn’t appreciate pre-Covid.
Extra time with loved ones.

In different ways I have been bold in 2020. Bold in prayer. Bold in blooming where God has planted me and trying to do my job with excellence , even if it is in my new office aka a corner of my bedroom:) Bold in taking steps of faith.

Fears to overcome for sure and many opportunities to lean in and trust in God.

I say all this in case someone needs to be reminded that hope is still to be found. Just keep praying and keep taking the next step. Be expectant that God can do exceedingly and abundantly more than we can imagine!

Day 2 was perfect! We were missing Chase but I am

Day 2 was perfect! We were missing Chase but I am always grateful for my niece and nephews. I grew up with two aunts who poured into me my whole life. Being an aunt is the best!

It’s fun to now hang out as they get older and talk about life. We started today around a table by the water at @malibufarmlido. Even in this weird covid land it was beautiful and the food amazing!

I remember cooking them fancy food when they were toddlers. They always loved my moms comfort food more:) The conversation and prayers were sweet and simple. Now the conversation is richer but built around that early table with me and the high chairs every Friday night. Now Hailey joins us too!

This afternoon we hung out at @lido_house pool. The staff was so nice and they are doing their best to keep everyone safe. I can’t wait until their restaurants are open to go and visit! It was too short but here I am home - heart full.

A quick little trip to @lido_house to end my week

A quick little trip to @lido_house to end my week off. Day 1 was filled with lots of laughter, pool time, @wildtaco__ , bike rides and a tour of all the houses I lived in Corona Del Mar! We had dinner @cucinarestaurants and ended the night with spa time! Grateful in the midst of a crazy year for a little rest and relaxation.

While my dream vacay doesn’t include masks and social distancing I’ll take what we can carve out today! Laughter is so good for the soul.

How are you finding space this summer? Who are you gathering around the table with?

Father’s Day. Always such a mixed bag for me. The last meal I shared with my dad was Father’s Day under stressful circumstances as he faces his 5th major brain surgery. That was 21 years ago.
He was resilent and fought hard to be with us. He overcame so much during those years. Most of all he loved his family unconditionally.
My favorite times with dad, when I was little took place after school hanging out in the dark room at church. I was spellbound watching that blank paper develop into pictures. We would hang them up to dry and it was magical.
I wish I had known more about his life before he met my mom. If you are lucky enough to have your dad here still, be curious and write it all down!
From the little bits I found after he died I discovered he was adventurous going off an an archeological dig. Leaving his family to come to Anaheim with my grandfather to start a church in the late 50s. He followed his dreams and calling.
It encourages me to keep on following my calling.
What do you wish you knew about your dad?
