I avoided goal setting for years. I had to set goals regularly in my corporate career and when I left the rigor of that world, I let so many things go. In many ways, I needed to - my nervous system needed an exhale, an unwinding, a reprieve.

But I’m feeling a conviction to come back into intentionality and order. This is, after all, God’s way. He is so intentional, on purpose and orderly. Everything has a time and a season. So why shouldn’t everything have a specific place in our home? A time in our schedule? A rhythm in our week?

I’m not saying we have to drill sergeants because we also see in the Bible where Jesus deviated from the original plan and order, much to the confusion of the apostles at times, but He still did so with deep purpose and intention.

I’m releasing a simple guide to help you think through which areas of your life feel out of order and need some intentionality so that we may enjoy the peace, rest and joy that the Lord wants us to enjoy.

comment GOALS and I’ll send you information on how to access the guide 🥰

If the enemy can keep you obsessed with your failures and wounds, he can keep you from your calling.

As believers it’s important to remember we are called forward, not dwelling or regrets or mistakes or failures. Yes learn from them! Let them shape your tomorrow, but we mustn’t dwell there!

Many are stuck because they’re spending more time digging through their past than stepping into their calling.
But when you actually look at Scripture, Jesus never once walked anyone back through their trauma, their childhood, or their emotional history. He didn’t need their entire backstory to break the bo***ge. He spoke truth, healed the root, and called them forward. Immediately.

The enemy loves backward-focused living because it keeps you circling the same wounds. Jesus calls you to put your hand to the plow and move.

Satan’s obsessed with the past because he lives with regret and wants you under that roof with him. Validation seems to be a helpful way of moving forward, and we do see acknowledgement of facts in scripture (woman at the well), but Jesus never dwells there.

If you want the Scripture list and a prayer to break agreement with backward-focused healing, comment FORWARD and I’ll send it.

A little call to action for your Sunday.

The enemy has gained ground in so many minds through trauma and many, many people don’t even know it. Many believers are struggling and warring in their minds, but they have no idea where the struggle originated.

I’ve gone through 3 deliverance ministry trainings with and what I’ve learned has changed everything.

Trauma isn’t fair. It’s not something we chose, it happened TO US! The enemy doesn’t play fair. He is cruel and his only mission is to keep you away from God (love, peace, joy), and he does not care at all how he accomplishes that mission.

Warring in your mind can look like: complaining, bitterness, judging others, fear, worry of that others think, resentment, exhaustion, distraction, addiction to busyness, self pity, comparison, isolation - the list goes on.

I would highly recommend moving heaven and earth to get to a event because I’ve seen some WACKO deliverance ministry that is not biblical - this group is so blessed and does a wonderful job. BUT, I can promise you, it won’t be easy to get there. Every time I’ve gone there have been obstacles after obstacles. Things you wouldn’t even believe could happen, getting the way to keep you from going - literally! A surgery, husband called out of town suddenly for a work problem, childcare complications - you name it. Don’t be distracted, let it happen, recognize what it is, and keep moving forward.

In the mean time, other things you can do are some emotion code sessions to help release trapped traumas (I use .debbie58 - just DM her).

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY- saturate yourself in The Word. Faith comes by HEARING - go to - Bible based church (doesn’t have to be your forever church, just get to a service and look for your long term home), listen to sermons (I love and ), join a Bible study group, listen to worship music.

More to come….

Let me know what I can help with in the comments below - I’m no expert but happy to share what I can!

We will try almost anything to feel better.

A new supplement.
A new practitioner.
A new protocol.
A new diagnosis.
A new fix for an old ache.

But very few of us will pause long enough
to ask the harder question:

“What am I carrying that didn’t start with me?”

Because the truth is—
you can remove toxins,
you can change your home,
you can clean up your routines…

…but if the spiritual and emotional burdens you inherited
stay untouched,
your symptoms will keep resurfacing. Your spirit will keep vying for your attention because your body wants to heal. Your spirit wants peace.

I learned this the painful way.

My fibroid wasn’t just physical.
My crash wasn’t just nutritional.
My symptoms weren’t random.

They were the fruit of
years of overwhelm,
old emotional agreements,
and generational patterns
I never questioned.

You can detox your home,
but until you detox your history,
healing will always feel incomplete.

Ask the Lord:
“What generational pattern is ending with me?”

Your body will thank you
for the spiritual work you’re willing to do.

If your competence, share mental lie you’re battling and uprooting - I’d love to pray for you!
