Welcome to the 7th and final episode of 7 Minutes in Heaven. This is also the 8th and final episode of Season 2 of Ever~Present. Join me today while we explore why your piece matters! We talk about the importance of understanding that YOU are part of a greater whole. Think about completing a puzzle, especially puzzles with hundreds of tiny little pieces. There is nothing worse then getting near the end of a puzzle and realizing you are missing a piece! You can't complete a puzzle without all the pieces! And each piece of the puzzle has its own unique shape and place. And so do you! When we honour our God given shape and place we are helping to complete God's masterpiece. Gods giant puzzle of life! We look at the acronym of SHAPE that makes up our God given capabilities such as our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality and Experiences. I believe once you know and own your shape, you will be able to know and fill your place! We are all apart of the same puzzle and our place matters in that puzzle because we are connected to other pieces. We are connected to other people! You truly are part of a greater whole! The scripture for today is Ephesians 2:10 'For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.' Moving forward, Season 3 of Ever~Present will look a bit differently this Fall. It will be a monthly interview series where I will host an amazing human and their story on the third Thursday of each month from September to December. I hope you join me and stay safe and patient this Fall. Remember that your piece truly matters! Let's do this!

Join me today as we look at the importance of trusting yourself and your gut when making decisions. We look at how choosing our focus impacts the meaning we attach and ultimately the actions we take. The scripture I leave you with today is that nothing is wasted 'with all this going for us, my dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that NOTHING you do for him is a waste of time or effort." 1 Corinthians 15:58. Life is happening FOR you not TO you! Make your decisions with confidence. You have everything you need already inside of you to make the best decisions!

Join me today while we explore taking ownership for our lives through the 3 A's of Autheticity, Awareness and Alignment! When we focus on these three A's we can live being the best version of ourselves while intentionally taking ownership. Remember the only captain of YOUR ship is you! Today's scripture is from James 2 reminding us that faith without works is dead. "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.  For as the body apart from the spirit is dead so also faith apart from works is dead." This just means that we have a part to play and we are responsible for taking action! Most importantly for owning-OUR-ship!

Join me today while we explore ways to protect your peace. We look at Trent Shelton's 4 A's to protecting your peace ~ Appreciation, Affection, Accomplishment and Activity. We discuss how starting your day with intention by being prepared helps protect your peace and sets you up to win. The greatest battle you will ever face is not with them; it's within! So learning how to protect your peace and protect your mental health is key and within our control. We always have a part to play. We are not in control of everything but we sure do have a responsibility and we can influence our day. Set intention for your mental, physical emotional and spiritual health! Always remember "we find peace where we make it!" The scripture that is fitting for today is Proverbs 4:23 ~ 'above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.' #7MM #7MinutesInHeaven

Join me today as we explore John Maxwell's Cycle of Success where we must test, fail, learn, improve and reenter continuously. One thing that remains universal is that successful people know their purpose in life! They know why they are here! Each of us must discover our purpose. They say the 2 most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you discover why! Proverbs 16:3 reminds us to commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. A quote I like by Sir Winston Churchill says, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” Give your best today while always reaching for better tomorrow! Let's do it!

Join me today for 7 Minutes in Heaven while we explore life's metaphors. Rick Warren author of the Purpose Driven Life says life is a test, life is a trust and life is a temporary assigment. I share how I have come to agree with this and how knowing this can help give our life purpose. To me purpose gives our life peace, hope and direction. Each one of us have been created with greatness on the inside and knowing our life's metaphor helps us reveal this greatness. 2 Corinthians 4:18 is fitting for today, 'fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal!' God is always more concerned with our character then our comfort and seeing lifes tests as character development is one way of finding value in everything we go through! Let's do this!

Welcome to the first 7 Minutes in Heaven of Season 2 of Ever~Present. 7 Minute Motivation (7MM) coming at you for this series! Today we explore what it takes to have vision and a champion mindset! The Last Dance with Michael Jordon taught me key lessons in these areas such as commitment, discipline, consistency, faith and heart. Michael Jordon demonstrated all of these through his career and success and I aim to show that each one of us can do the same aiming to win each day of our lives. The small wins are just as important as the big wins! Proverbs 29:18 is very fitting and says "where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he." Come join me while we explore what it takes to adopt this champion mindset! Let's do this!
