    How To Focus On Christ This Thanksgiving Season

    How do we focus on Christ during the Thanksgiving season when so many things pull our attention away from Him? How can we celebrate in a way that honors God?

I’m going to have some articles to help you hold onto peace and…

You can read how my faith has impacted my career here. Tabitha’s personal relationship with Jesus, as well as…

    Why You Need a Rhythms Reset and How to Make it Happen

    The She Is Emboldened community recently did a week-long Rhythms Reset Week to decrease distractions, be present, and set our minds on God.  I mean, who doesn’t need to do those things, right? I wanted to share what we learned through those daily rhythms because the Lord revealed some profound things to me through this process.  About myself and Him.   Not only that, I LOVED hearing your feedback and what you learned as well.   The FREE Rhythms Reset E-Book is still available if you want…

    Easy Ways to Start a Weekly Sabbath

    Our family started implementing a weekly Sabbath each week years ago and it has been life-changing for us.  Especially me, an Enneagram 3, overachiever, Type A personality who thinks resting is a waste of time.  Hopefully, I’m not the only productivity addict out there!   Oh, how the Lord has humbled me through this discipline of Sabbath!  Who knew that for some of us, resting requires more discipline and self-control than putting in some hard work.   Sabbath is a gift designed to reorient our hearts to…

    How My Faith Made Me A Better Physical Therapist

    When you think of the Christians that you work with, do they look any different than your co-workers who don’t follow Jesus? I hope so. Our faith isn’t meant to be something we do in our spare time, it’s something that should be fully integrated into every aspect of our lives. Whether it’s our jobs, relationships, finances, or how we spend our free time. Faith in Jesus should make a difference. It’s been interesting to see how as my relationship with Jesus has deepened, my…
