What Parenthood is Teaching Me About Jesus

By |2020-05-08T15:45:04-04:00October 6th, 2016|Faith, Family|

I am only 16 months into this whole parenting thing but MAN, I have learned a LOT! So many people given me their advice, some unwarranted ☺. I have read more books than I have in a long time. My husband, Sam, and I consulted both of our parents. That was all very helpful, but nothing can prepare you for parenthood – in every aspect. Parenthood is hard. Parenthood is exhausting. But parenthood is so incredibly amazing. Parenthood has taught me so much about my Jesus that I have loved for many years. Parenthood has shown me my weaknesses and my strengths. These are just a few of the things that parenthood is teaching me about Jesus: Love – The love that a parent has for a child is incredible. And there is something so amazing about knowing that my daughter, Harper, is such a beautiful mix of Sam and me. I never fully understood what Mary must have felt watching her son die on the cross. When Harper was just a few months old, I was rocking her one night while she slept. I was overcome with emotion just thinking about Mary and what it must have been [...]

4 Questions to Ask to Strengthen Your Team

By |2020-05-08T15:46:10-04:00October 4th, 2016|Business, Faith-Based Leadership|

This past May, I attended Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership Summit, which I can’t say enough great things about. I learned so much, and it’s difficult to narrow down my favorite takeaways. But today, I’m going to try. I love our team – and if you’ve been here a while, I know you know why. Teeny, Suzy, Somer, and James all play critical roles in the work done in the swHw community. But when your team is stretched from North Carolina to Delaware, I would be lying if I said it didn’t create unique problems. Problems that I’m grateful for. Problems that I believe many people would wish to have for themselves. But still, problems that need to be dealt with. One thing I’ve learned with having a largely remote team is that there’s no such thing as over-communication. We have established lots of fantastic tools to help us be able to communicate with one another, despite working at different times in different locations. But because we don’t get to see one another everyday, because we sometimes rely on email and text for a few days before we can connect on the phone or on a web meeting, it’s not hard [...]

How to Ensure Your Kids Don’t Hate Your Job

By |2020-05-08T15:46:15-04:00September 29th, 2016|Business|

I've worked since I was 15 years old. It's the plan that God had for me and I knew that early on! I loved my jobs - all of them! (Minus the bank teller job - can you say snooze fest for this hyper leader that's not great at math or sitting still.) But when I had children I expected that feeling to go away. I was shocked when Kennedi was 3 months old to find myself depressed and feeling down about everything. It was until I found a very part time job that I struggled. I realized during that season of life that I was a better wife and mommy when I was able to use my brain and tap into my love for all things business a few hours a week. Now I have a 14 and 16 year old and I can tell you without a doubt, I haven't done it all right! But I have prayed over this one subject often, and I've watched God answer my prayers and teach me to be the best working mom I can be. Here are 3 simple but powerful things I've learned to do to keep my girls [...]

3 Tips to Remain the Purpose Police of Your Life

By |2020-05-08T15:46:28-04:00September 22nd, 2016|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership|

Purpose. In business, it’s the word that separates the innovators from the imitators. It’s what differentiates between top-performing businesses and average-producing businesses. (Bonus tip: Couple being purpose-driven with integrity over a decade in the same space, and you’ll outdo 90% of the competition in your market.) So, in a world that seems to emphasize profitability and popularity, how do we ensure purpose stays the focus for our lives? Here are my top 3 tips: Pray. “But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you My power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth” (Exodus 9:16). Attempting to walk in purpose without consulting our Purpose-Giver is about as irresponsible as it gets. God gave us our purpose, so we must continually be growing in our personal relationship with Him to continue to grow in purpose. One of the most important things I stress with the women I mentor is how prayer is a productive use of our time. Don’t make it an afterthought, but a daily non-negotiable. Even if you’re just getting started in business or ministry, little is much in the hands of God. Prayer is our regular exercise [...]

4 Communication Truths I Learned During my First Year of Marriage

By |2020-05-08T15:46:39-04:00September 14th, 2016|Faith|

My husband Harrison and I got married May 9th, 2015 and it has been a wonderful adventure! Throughout our whole dating relationship we lived many hours away from each other, Harrison in Tennessee and I in Florida. While our long distance relationship definitely forced us to learn how to communicate positively while going weeks or months without seeing each other, God has continued to teach us the value of good communication throughout our first year of marriage. (And I know He isn't finished teaching us either!) 1. Communicate expectations early & often. One week after Harrison and I got married, we both began working at a Christian summer camp in North Carolina. We both adore the camp and its mission to share the gospel with kids through discipleship and adventure. While it was a wonderfully fun experience there were times when I would feel frustrated about the lack of time we got to spend together 1-on-1. However, we quickly learned that if we both had accurate expectations of what to expect throughout the week, we could be much more content and patient in waiting for those moments of connecting, even though they were few and far between for us [...]
