The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to DoThe Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to DoWhether you’re looking for meaning in your work or trying to figure out what your life’s work should be, The Art of Work by Jeff Goins is the most honest treatise I’ve read on the subject. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Goins argues that passion is not enough. It is when our passion and interests intersect with others’ needs that we find our larger purpose and life work.

In The Art of Work, Jeff Goins writes about his own personal journey as well as others’. He shows through one story after another how finding work that matters is a lifelong journey that involves learning from others, building bridges, and making pivots when necessary

It doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re currently in, this book will provide many insights into your own life journey, affirming your past and giving direction for the future.

Full surrender to Jesus

What Full Surrender to Jesus Looks Like

I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,
Over mountain, or plain, or sea.
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord.
I’ll be what You want me to be.

Corrie ten Boom and Pamela Rosewell Moore

It’s been years since I’ve heard this song. But for the last number of days, I’ve been humming it over and over again. I’ve also been reading about Corrie ten Boom and Pamela Rosewell Moore, Corrie’s companion and caretaker during the last decade of her life. The lives of both these women, fully surrendered to Jesus and anything He called them to do, reminded me of this song. It inspires me to continue to surrender myself and my life to Jesus, no matter what He asks of me.

How to Turn Criticism into Affirmation

No one escapes criticism. All of us have experienced the hurt — ranging from slightly offensive to soul-crushing — when someone says something negative about us.

Sadly, we often take that criticism and allow it to define us. We let someone else’s judgment intimidate us and hold us back, becoming enslaved to a version of ourselves that we are not.

The truth is, we don’t have to give others the power to define us. We can turn criticism into affirmation by using it to identify our positive God-given characteristics.

Only What’s Done for Christ Will Last

We are now almost two weeks into a new year — time marches on! I’m reminded of the plaque that hung at the bottom of my Grandma’s staircase that read:

Only one life, ’twill soon be past,

Only what’s done for Christ will last.

What the Bible Says About Life Purpose

With so much emphasis on finding your life purpose or mission in life, have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about life purpose? It turns out God has plenty to say in Scripture about His purpose and plan for each person. Not only that, He tells us in His Word that He directs us to walk in that purpose and equips us for all we need to live it!

The Key to a Balanced Life and Healthy Relationships

A mentor once introduced me to a simple diagram which has brought me much clarity in living a more balanced life and having healthier relationships. It helps us know when to say “yes” and when to say “no.” Most importantly, it puts God in His rightful place, resulting in freedom to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.
