Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, I wanted to write this blog a bit about how important a strong family is in creating a strong individual. What separates the connection between family and other people in one’s life is that blood bond. No matter what you do, your mother will always be your mother, father always your father, siblings always your siblings. With this comes the tradition and expectation that these people who you will always share this physical bond with should alwa

The holiday season is often described as the most joyful time of the year, but for many people, it has quietly transformed into one of the most overwhelming. What should be a period of reflection, gratitude, and connection can easily become buried beneath a mountain of obligations. The nonstop demands of shopping, planning, travel, and social events create a pace that overshadows the very things the holidays were meant to celebrate. In the rush to make everything perfect, we

Time passes by so quickly before you even realize it. By the time I am writing this, it is the end of September, and I could have sworn it was just January. So many things have happened in the month of September, and it has made me realize how fast time can pass, and in that span of time how easy it is to take life for granted. As humans, especially in today’s society, we get so comfortable in our normal routines in our everyday lives. Once something happens that changes tha

This statement from John MacArthur really struck me when I first read it … “You are never more like God than when you love your enemies.” This statement is based on Matthew 5:44, "But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you".  This verse commands believers to: Love our enemies. Do good to those who hate us. Bless those who curse us. Pray for those who pe

Leadership growth doesn’t happen in isolation. While experience and education are valuable, one of the most powerful drivers of professional development is networking. Building genuine connections with other leaders, peers, and industry professionals provides opportunities to exchange ideas, gain fresh perspectives, and challenge the way you approach decision-making. Networking isn’t just about meeting people — it’s about creating relationships that expand your thinking and s

“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:   So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” ~ Isaiah 55:10-11 One thing I love to do is walk outdoors while it’s drizzling. Somethin

Let me start with this: I don’t hate my job. In fact, I genuinely enjoy bookkeeping. I like making sense of things that feel messy. I like systems, clean records, and knowing that the work I do helps keep a business steady and compliant. Bookkeeping gives me a quiet sense of accomplishment—especially when everything finally ties out. But even work you enjoy can feel heavy in certain seasons. And caring for a newborn while showing up consistently at work is one of those s

“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: and I have filled him with the spirit of God…” Exodus 31:1-2, KJV In church this month, my class has been going through the book of Exodus. Exodus is a rich and wonderful book, full of miracles, wonders, rules, revelations, and God’s will for the young nation of Israel made manifest. In the passage I quoted though, there is a peculiar thing. Th

Having done multiple assessments for personal and professional development, I typically can determine pretty quickly what I am when I look at a new assessment. I did the Working Genius (WG) Assessment and surprisingly, I couldn’t just pick out what was me, instead it was enlightening. I believe it was so because of the way this assessment breaks down the areas in which I thrive and those in which I do not. Most people can work in multiple areas. If they can do the job/task,

Leaving college and starting a first job is a hard transition. For me, it is especially challenging because I spent the better part of the last four years in a different state away from home, and now I’m back at home but away from my friends. I miss the pace of life – going from classes to lunch with different friends to extracurriculars to spending my evenings in the dorm with the community I built. The excitement of starting a career comes with the loss of the rhythms and r

Artificial intelligence has risen so extremely fast over the last couple of years. Its revolutionary power will likely make it the technology that defines my lifetime, just like the creation of the internet or cars defined previous generations. It is still unclear how powerful the technology will be and how it will shape our lives, but the potential is definitely both exciting and frightening. I wanted to highlight a couple of ways that AI has impacted my life as a recent col
