Rooted

Choosing how we handle the day to day “craziness” as I call it builds resilience. Every day we are faced with challenges and decisions. I have learned through my career, in being a wife, and a mother of three that things don’t always go as planned. Honestly! Learn that now! This was a big struggle in my life because I’m a planner and I spent most of my life being completely inflexible. My response to situations was often out of frustration and anger. “God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.” As I thought about these words from John C. Maxwell, James 1:22 came to…

Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes that “two are better than one.” God did not intend us to be alone. “For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!” Resilience is also grown by surrounding ourselves with other Christian women. Seek to develop close friendships with women who will pray for you, that you can laugh with and that will support you during trying times. I can tell you there is nothing more powerful than a genuine friend that prays for you and supports you! The story of Moses, Aaron and Hur touches…

Early in my career I purchased a journal and on the cover I wrote, ‘I WILL SURVIVE.’ I used this book to reflect each day on things I had said or done or questions that I may have had. By taking this time to reflect on my day, it allowed me to think through how to do things better and how to handle situations in the future. My I WILL SURVIVE journals have now been replaced with my daily prayer journals. Inviting God to participate in your daily reflection time strengthens your relationship with Him and grows your resiliency (aka FAITH!). Before you read your Bible ask God to not…

This week Rooted is diving into what the Bible says on being resilient – a key component of your walk in faith with Christ and in your role as a leader. We wake up each day knowing that the sunrise is a gift, a new day to keep walking – to be better than you were the day before and to TRUST that God has you on the path he intended you to be on. #leadershipnovember #resilience #itsallinthebible

Successful leaders depend on God not their own wit and wisdom. First, seek the Lord daily early in the morning then go to work and influence people positively. God will raise you up as a leader and the desired results will come, but we must trust and be confident in Him. Stay Rooted! #leadershipnovember #confidence #trust #influence #leader #godfirst

Regardless of the situation you face; TRUST in him through ALL things. Be blessed! Be confident in the Lord! #workingwomen #rootedinfaith #stayrooted #leadershipnovember

Leaders today can bank on the same PROMISE that gave Moses courage and confidence! #ourGod #stayrooted #leadershipnovember #nofear #confidence

Rooted is honored today to say Thank You to our Veteran’s! Those we know and love dearly and those we’ve never met! We are grateful for your service!

Several weeks ago I participated in an executive women’s panel regarding the topic of confidence. It really got me thinking! As a young adult woman attending college in a male dominated field my ambition was fueled by the desire to prove myself and prove to others that I could be successful. But 28 years later, when I am asked what fuels my confidence there is only one answer: God. I am nothing without Him. As I prepared for the panel I spent several days in my Bible reading about confidence. The Bible is the MOST amazing book ever written. Everything we need to know is written on the pages between…

This month Rooted is focusing on leadership. Last week was all about making a personal growth plan – we must grow ourselves to grow others. Our topic this week is Confidence. There is a difference between confidence and pride in leadership. God hates a prideful attitude and when we put ourselves before Him…thinking we know everything. Stay with us daily as we share what the Bible says about being a confident leader. Happy Monday!
