October 7 - Don't Give Up!

Who do you know that is living their dreams for work and for life? What are your dreams? How close are you to living them? God put those dreams in your heart and soul. Don’t give up on them!

Psalm 37:23 - The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.

October 6 - Hungry For More

We were made to never stop learning – never stop being hungry for more of life. It is in our DNA. No one gets to escape this fact of our nature which God put in us. We can sabotage ourselves – but that part of ourselves will continue to beckon for more. You are about to feed that part of you!

Proverbs 16:16 - How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get insight rather than silver!

Oct. 5 - A Grateful Heart


Some of my favorite things are still just things. But they open up the world to me and feed my passion for beauty, knowledge, news, and friendship. Those things include my camera, my MacBook Pro, books, skis, and my car. They are but mere replaceable tools to get me to what is real for me. And I am so thankful for them! Today, you will be more aware of what serves your passion for life – and you will be thankful!

Psalm 107:1 - Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

October 4 - Better "Vision"


Just as my camera sometimes catches colors, images, and things in the background that I didnt know were there  so our minds and hearts are not always aware of everything that is happening around us. New things are being revealed today and in the weeks to come. Your vision will increase to see those things. So exciting for you!

James 1:5 - If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

October 3 - Good is Coming!

In Colorado, almost overnight, the season changes from hot summer days to perfect fall daytime temperatures with very cool nights. I love this season. It makes me bake zucchini bread and apple pies to go with chilis, stews, and soups. Fall is here in full swing and there is an anticipation of the fun of winter. So how does that look in places we don’t see with our natural eyes? There is an anticipation of something great about to come. Knowing God’s nature as a good God – I may not know what is around the corner – but I know it is good. Be watching. You are in for a treat! 

"Hope is the confident, joyful expectation good is coming. It is an overall optimistic attitude about the future based on the goodness and promises of God. ... A lack of hope means we are believing a lie. It is key for us to know we are being deceived in the area of life we have hopelessness. That recognition is the beginning of the journey to let go of lies and believe truth, so we will be free." - Steve and Wendy Backlund - www.ignitinghope.com.

October 2 - You Are Beautiful in All Your Ways


The sight of the recent lunar eclipse of the supermoon and resulting red moon was so beautiful. What was also exciting was people all over the world were watching. They left their busy-ness for a long moment to look up. And those who witnessed it were not disappointed. NBC news reported it as the most watched show ever with the highest ratings ever. Photos streamed over the tv and internet. For one moment, our world was one in awe of the heavens and the beauty of Creation. May we never lose our wonder!
