Stop Believing the Lies

By |2020-05-08T15:40:02-04:00March 16th, 2017|Faith, Family|

I recently had an emotional breakdown. There were a lot of circumstances out of my control happening, and one night, I finally broke down. I realized that I had been fighting for so long to “have it all together” and act like my life was going 100% planned by me. Because isn’t that what we want others to think--that we’ve got it all together, we’re never thrown off our game, and we trust the Lord 100% of the time? I can tell you from experience, that’s wrong. It’s a lie and it’s wrong. We don’t have it all together. We’re thrown off our game when we’re given a curveball, and we don’t trust that the Lord has our best interests in mind. We’re human. Our sinful nature is to not trust in Him. When I finally stopped fighting, I realized 2 things: I was believing Satan’s lies, not God’s promises. It finally hit me that I had believed the enemy’s lies for so long. I thought I wasn’t capable, strong, or confident. I was so far away from God that I couldn’t hear His voice anymore. I couldn’t hear that He was saying, “Teeny, you are strong in Me.” [...]

Embrace Your Gentle Spirit

Introvert: [n] a shy person; a person characterized by concern primarily with his or her own thoughts and feelings Do you consider yourself an introvert? I have been an introvert my whole life, both at home and in the workplace. Thankfully, being an introvert doesn’t mean you can’t be a leader as well. I’ve compiled a list of 5 tips to help introverts be leaders too.  Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone Getting out of your comfort zone can be a scary thing, but it can also be such a good thing. I wrote a blog a few weeks ago about getting out of your comfort zone. You can read it here. The Lord does not call us to be comfortable. He wants us to TRUST and obey Him. I know that it can be scary, awkward, and uncomfortable. But the Lord rewards those who trust Him. And for introverts, it can mean being exposed to things that you normally wouldn’t if you didn’t get out of your comfort zone. Take Initiative Being an introvert doesn’t have to mean that we sit back, never speak up and only do the work we’ve been given. Taking initiative can show that [...]

One Chore a Day to a Clean House

By |2020-05-08T15:41:45-04:00December 13th, 2016|Family|

Let’s be honest. As working women, we have a hard time finding enough hours in the day to get everything done for work + our family, much less clean the house! A few months ago I decided to create myself a cleaning schedule to keep me on track and help me not feel so overwhelmed with housework. It’s been a game changer for me! I found that by doing one chore a day, it helped to keep the house clean, but also not feel like I was spending hours a day cleaning. There are also a few things that I do every day that seriously takes about 10 minutes that really helps keep things tidy and organized! If you're like me, if you wake up to a dirty house, you're not productive at all! I have to clean and feel organized before I can sit down and work without distractions! I have created a basic cleaning schedule, so feel free to download it, crank up the music and get to cleaning! I’d love to know if you find this cleaning schedule helpful! Would you add anything different to yours?

When God Calls You Out of Your Comfort Zone

By |2020-05-08T15:43:59-04:00November 3rd, 2016|Uncategorized|

Have you ever been called to do something that makes you super uncomfortable? I recently felt the Lord tugging at my heart to do something way out of my comfort zone. It involved a small group study of Michelle’s new book Famous in Heaven & at Home. I tried to shrug it off. I tried to ignore it. But the Lord kept at it. I finally gave in. I told the swHw team that it was something that I felt the Lord was calling me to do. I made a video, promoted the group and asked people to join me – all of which makes me uncomfortable and awkward. But I did it. I obeyed the Lord. And you know what? We’re almost done with the study and there are over 200 people in that ‘small group’. The Lord blessed me tremendously by obeying His call. Is the Lord asking you do to something that is so far out of your comfort zone that you don’t even know where to start? Let me give you a piece of advice. Obey the Lord. Obey Him. He will bless you. You may not see or feel it immediately. But I can [...]

How to Cut Your Customer Service Emails in Half

By |2020-05-08T15:46:33-04:00September 20th, 2016|Uncategorized|

Answering emails is one of my favorite “jobs” that I’ve been given. I know Michelle would rather crawl into a hole than answer emails, but it’s how I stay connected to our members. It’s so fun for me to be able to get to know our members and customers. I have loved emailing back and forth with so many of you! However, answering emails can take up a lot of time if you aren’t careful. Adding canned responses is a great way to cut down your time on answering emails. It allows you to send the same response to many different people. I’ve written a blog about how to create and send “canned responses” that you can view here. But there’s also another super easy way to cut your email time in half – set up an autoresponder. The easiest way to do this is to set up your vacation settings. A vacation responder sends an email reply automatically to all incoming messages. You can set up a date when you want it to start, but you don’t have to add an end date, which allows the auto responder to always be “on”. If you’ve ever emailed us, you’ve [...]
