What an interesting week and set of conversations. It helped me in preparation as I spoke to a friend and a recruiter who confirmed how things have changed from the days of 1 resume to rule them all. Do you realize that in today’s world, with ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and bots that it requires that you rewrite your resume to customize it for each application? You still need your full…
This morning as I went out to walk the dogs all was clear as we headed out but by the time I was going to head home, it made me wonder in relation to where things are at and what’s going on if there might be a parallel. It was foggy and the question came to mind, how do you respond when you can’t see because of the fog around you? Do you slow down and keep moving? Do you stop to make sure you are…
Yesterday provided me with opportunities to learn as I spoke to a recruiter, grow as I spoke about camps, and give as I watched a part of the youth service. Interesting how it checked the What to do on day 2? Tuesday? Today? Learn, Grow, and Give boxes. Today as we hit Wednesday some call Humpday, I have plans to go to an appointment, work on camp training and core team preparation, and I’m…
On the theme of words that sound similar, starting with words that sound like or include the sound /tu:/. It’s today() = Tuesday and day 2 of this week. As I consider my day it is made up of time to learn as I have a 9am appointment, to grow as I get to have a lunch meeting to share my heart and passion for camps, we put on for at-risk youths each summer, and to give of my time to support others.…
As I prepare for today, I look to God who gave me the command to get out and go back. As of Friday, step one is complete and now the journey into the promised land I am to go back to. God knows whose there and He is greater than anything that could get in the way. Today, is but the beginning and I have gone into the land and seen the new campus, the open concept offices, the little city…
As we continue this weekend and the series “This Is Love”, when you choose to live or respond, are you able to respond in love and be patient? How about when things don’t go exactly as you hoped, are you able to respond in love and show kindness? Can you be patient and kind, even when others don’t? Will you model God’s love, Agape love, by showing patience and kindness to those God brings into…
Imagine a time where God has given you a message and you are choosing to be obedient to pursue it. Imagine the message aligning to Jacob’s message from God in Genesis 31 to get out and go back. Yesterday was the beginning of “get out” being complete. You’ve prepared and you started reaching out to accomplish the “go back” and now you are in the middle, the in between, waiting on God and His plan…
As this part of my journey is coming to an end, I am excited to see where God takes me and how He will use me next. Trusting Him enough to be obedient to the calling from Genesis 31 to “get out and go back”, step one is to take the leap of faith and get out. Next is trusting His timing and His purpose with anticipation and preparation not forcing my own way but letting His perfect timing and…
Ever wondered or looked up what is the day before the last day called? Well, it is penultimate. As I head into it, I lean into God and trust His perfect plan and perfect timing that will play out. I am living in anticipation of what’s next as I step out in faith following His Genesis 31 message to me to “get out and go back”. So today I am choosing to be ready and spiritually prepare by staying…
As I lean into God and head into today, Wednesday, Humpday, it will set the trajectory for what is yet to come by God’s grace, mercy, promises, and plans up, up and away. Getting for today feels like entering launch zone when the astronauts are preparing to get in and buckle up for the incredible experience that happens as part of takeoff or launch. I am not sure of the specific destination yet…
