God Gave Me a Business Idea

I haven’t talked about it much, but there’s something churning inside my brain – and I know it’s God’s idea inside of me.

 

Last year, my mind started whirring over a specific topic.

 

In the middle of the night, I was woken up at 4am with my mind racing. All these ideas kept coming, so I wrote them in my notes app. Then, a name came for it. And I love it.

 

I started planning this event aimed at youth and it effortlessly poured out of me. Then,...

Turning Dreams into Reality

 

I have so many goals and dreams, and I’ve been more deliberate in reading up on them lately, learning how to conquer them, and putting action steps into place to make sure I don’t end my life without having gone after the things in my heart.

 

Hopefully, it’s all adding up and will start bringing forth change in my life. My life is amazing right now, actually, and I love it, but I also know I was created for a larger purpose, and I’m becoming more...

God Became a Violinist This Weekend

 

This past weekend, I went with my mom to her fancy work gala. Part of the entertainment was a high school symphony, and they played all sorts of beautiful songs including Christmas songs.

 

They would glide around the large room walking between tables carrying their instruments and blessing us with their talent.

 

At a certain point, the conductor announced that the next song was going to be a solo. So, an unassuming and humble looking girl started playing and walking around...

Live Like an Airport Escalator

 

I love when something hits me as I’m doing life.

 

When I was going through the airport recently, it dawned on me that my purpose in life is to be like these escalators.

 

I’m here to help people get to Jesus – as best I can.. by lightening their load along the way.

 

Yes, there are stairs that everyone could take to get to the next floor, but wouldn’t it be great if there was something (someone) who could assist them? Something that (someone who)...

My First Podcast Interview - More Than Expected

Another great thing happened on the set of Vindication, Episode 9. My actor friend, Robbie Clark, had asked me to be on his podcast a few months prior.

 

Admittedly, I delayed my answer for a while because I was too chicken to do a podcast. As an actor, you’re used to scripts, not interviews.

 

My biggest concern was fumbling over my words, and then, because interviews seem to be rushed, I wouldn’t have the chance to explain myself, and who I was would be...

He Will Make You Lie Down

Piggy backing on last week’s post, here’s a new thought about my current situation.

 

On the set of Vindication last weekend, something unexpected happened. Shance (one of the camera guys) asked me who my agent was. My response to that was pretty much what I wrote on last week’s blog: Faith-Based Projects Currently in Texas.

 

When I mentioned that it seemed like prime time to have an agent, Shance said that the verse in Psalm doesn’t say God lets us lie...

Faith-Based Projects Currently in Texas

For years, I’ve been with an acting agency. All that time, I’d hoped and looked for faith-based projects that were going on, even though they were few and far between.

 

It seems more have been popping up recently, which is amazing.

 

However, if you’ve read my recent blog posts, you’d see that it feels like God has put my acting endeavors on pause – except for this one series I’ve been doing called Vindication.

 

What’s my point?

Pros and Cons of Working from Home

I’ve been working from home for the past few months. Before that, I solely did acting, which was a lot of work-from-home stuff along with occasionally going places for class, auditions, shoots, etc.

When my husband and I moved to where we are now (outside of Austin and San Antonio, Texas), I knew that anywhere we wanted to go would be a bit of a drive… nothing major but we used to live in Austin where everything we needed was within a 3 mile radius.

I set out to look for WFH...

We Think Our Troubles are Big

We all have struggles. They may seem minute to others, but to us, they’re still our struggles and our heavy burdens.

My sister-in-law and I were talking yesterday and she said something that I thought was really great…

When we’re kids, we think our problems are a huge deal, and they are to us, at that time.

As parents looking at the child’s problem, we see how not big it is, how small it actually is, and we think it’s funny that this kid thinks they have...

God's Ways are Like the Radio

God always knows what’s best for us. Always.

Being human, we often think that we know what’s best for ourselves, or what our next step should be, or our next goal. Sometimes, I feel like we hold onto things a little too long thinking that we have no better choice.

Or we hold out for a prayer that we really, really want.

I do that sometimes, too. And then I take a road trip.

While on these trips, I sometimes find a radio station I like. The further I travel, the more...
