Timing is everything. Even more so during this pandemic. Today I want to talk about God’s timing. It seems to me that God’s timing never matches my own. Anyone else? But what I have found to be true is that God’s holy interruptions and timing that I always think is late turns out to be perfect. The problem is usually us. We are the ones that are impatient and not really ready. Let’s unpack this more…

I know Mother's Day was last week, but today I wanted to talk about the importance of mothers modeling courage to their children. We outsource a lot of teaching—Spanish, horseback riding, and driving are all things I am happy for someone else to teach my kids. BUT teaching courage and showing your kids how to be brave is something we should be doing as moms. Listen is as we talk about not using our kids as an excuse, but instead, as our motivation!

This week I want to break down one of my favorite chapters in my book...chapter 6 all about courage. The world craves confidence. Confidence sells and confidence is what people think is the key. But friends, I am here to tell you that what you really need is courage. Courage is what will help you take action. Courage will get you started. There is no need to rely on yourself and wait for confidence. You may be waiting for a long time. Instead, look to Jesus for courage! Dig deep this week. Have the guts to do the thing without waiting for confidence!

I had a comment in my DMs this past week telling me what I "should" and "should not" be doing as a business owner right. While I want to extend grace to and think the best of the commenter, I also want to take a few minutes and talk about those in our lives who may be telling us what we "should" be doing right now. This current situation is so polarizing and there is are many opinions. BUT there are very few concrete right answers. I want to encourage us all to offer grace and understanding for how people are navigating these times. I also want to remind us all that we need to continually be looking to God and His word to tell us what we "should'" be doing.
If you want to read more about following the right "shoulds", check out my book Fear Is Not the Boss of You!
