Introducing BedHead Devotionals

So a couple of months ago, I started capturing my excitement after my morning devotionals on video (on an iPad). It was super easy to upload onto Facebook and I thought, why not?

Most of my friends on FB know I am wild about Jesus, crazy in love with the Lord. I figured those who know me would love 'em because they are real. The way I talk, the topic, and my excitement is what would be experienced by a friend if they had come over that morning for coffee. This is me.

I am excited about the Lord and luckily, I've learned to get a hold of God and hear His voice. (Thank you Pastor Ron Vietti for teaching me that ability.)

I hope to share with you 'the how-to' by being transparent about some prayers and the words I get from God during my personal devo time in the (very) early A.M.

Now, they are called BedHead Devotionals because...well....I have a fresh, out of bed look going on. I have my bedhead from last night's sleep, and typically my pajamas on.

I decided to do them like this because #1: it really, really keeps me humble. And #2, if I spent time getting myself ready by playing beauty parlor to do the video...it wouldn't have the same excitement, zeal, and passion...and then, it would become more rehearsed....and not raw like I wanted it. Rumor has it that I motivate people, so I want the raw, unrehearsed excitement available to motivate my viewers.

Plus, I just want it to be me. Just as my husband hears it. I'm big on being genuine and real...so this is about as genuine and real as I can be for ya!

So I hope you subscribe on YouTube to watch my channel: BedHead Devotionals....
If that's your thing.

My goal is to serve as a source of inspiration and encouragement to those who are walking with the Lord, seeking His will for their lives.

Enjoy!

"I just give up!"

"I just give up"...this is one of my 4 year old's favorite lines when he doesn't want to do what he's told and he knows it will get a rise out of me.


My response to him is always: 'You can't give up now, you have too much life left.' Or, 'You can't give up now, you'll just be bored out of your mind'. 'That's no fun, what are you going to do for the rest of your life if you give up now?'


Do you ever feel that way? Like just giving up? What's it worth, right? All the hardwork? You set out to do something, you don't get the results you intended, so you just want to throw in the towel. But that's no fun, what are you going to do with the rest of your life?
If it's not working out, figure out how to make it work....or go a different direction. But whatever you do - DON'T GIVE UP!

Life is great if you focus on others. Making life a little easier & better for another person is so rewarding. You will find joy inside, you'll feel energized, and then you might just go out and accomplish something!


So my words to you - You have too much life left to give up now! Go out there and be the best YOU you can!
