Forward Friday Recaps: FINDING WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR. It's Not Just Happiness — But Contentment. Could it be both? Happy or Content? Discovering what we're really looking for. Why our hearts need a moral and spiritual compass. Building roots that hold when life gets hard. Escaping comparison and the endless pursuit of more. Contentment in Any Circumstance —a grounded life.

Forward Friday recaps thoughts about the disappointment of Geography, but that even in a place we would have never dreamed we could be in, we can draw from that very same place the things we need to help us move forward. There is an oasis in the moment. Stop being afraid. The place we never wanted to be may still hold something we need. Check Out Our Video Recaps Below!!! Video Recap # 1 THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY. There is an oasis in the moment. Don’t be afraid. The p

Forward Friday recaps the Decluttering Sessions... What’s Taking Up Space That Was Never Meant To Stay? What’s On The List? Making Room for What Matters.. The Stuff: What Are You Carrying? The Hate: What could be poisoning our Space? Unforgiveness: What Are We Still Holding? The Storm: Can We Still See The Rainbow? The Release: Live Free. What’s on the decluttering list? Maybe it’s time to make some room. Room for what God has next. Room for peace. Room for purpose.

Forward Friday recaps the legacy of the seed and how the seeds of life inside each one of us are so valuable... It is a comfort to know that we can discover the seed inside us, surviving the dark moments of life even when we think nothing much is happening. Learning to grow what's inside of us; that we have purpose and impact, and that's why the seeds of our lives matter as they do. And that whatever is planted and grown in our lives lives on.

Forward Friday recaps Tribes & Prides. I've been fascinated by lions, but even more than that, I realize there is something about the lion that goes beyond the spectacle. There's something about identity. Something about focus. Something about courage. Something about who we surround yourself with. And maybe something about who we were created to become. Because sometimes where we sit shapes how we see. And who we sit with can help determine how we move forward. Tribes & Pri

Forward Friday Recaps “Rewired: Built to Last” because we don’t rewire a house because it’s worthless—we rewire it because we intend for it to keep standing and functioning for years to come. And that gives us a hopeful message: God isn’t finished with us. Sometimes He has to rewire some things in us so we can become who He intended us to be. “Rewired: Built to Last. Because sometimes God is not wanting to do a demo job in us as much as He wants to rewire what’s happening ins

Friday recaps Resilience… Life is going to punch us at some point. The question isn’t whether we’ll get knocked down. The question is: What will we do next? Even when the weight feels heavy, find the strength to stand. Our courage is built in these moments, so dig deep, take a deep breath, rise up, and keep moving forward. If we keep our faith, we keep our trust, we keep the right attitude; if we're grateful, we'll see God open up new doors."

Forward Friday Recaps celebrating the memory of my dad, Hubert Mills. It's next to impossible to tell all of the incredible things Dad meant to our family, but we saved a few that are meaningful to us during Father's Day week. I appreciate all the moments we had with our dad. As I've gotten older, I realize more and more how wise my father was.

We celebrate this Mother's Day remembering my mom, Beatrice Mills, AKA, the BumbleBea!!!! There are so many stories to tell, but these recap videos tell a little of the stories of Mom!! She was an incredible lady.

Forward Friday Recaps celebrating the Life of Hubert Mills, A Man For All Seasons!! Dad showed by example how to Climb The Ladder Over The Mountains that could or would come into our lives. There was never an obstacle or problem that Dad didn't think he could solve. Faith, perseverance, and a healthy dose of want to made the difference!! Dad knew and showed us that forgiveness was not an option to living a life free from the bondages and handcuffs of life. Living free was/is

Forward Friday Recaps Part 3 & 4: Remembering an incredible man, Hubert Mills. There is always a lot to learn from the man who came from the "Rock", Bermuda!!!! Dad was always curious. Curiosity pushed him to ask “what if?” and “why not?”. The creativity in Dad caused him not to freeze when things changed. He'd experiment, pivot, and invent new approaches instead of clinging to one rigid way of doing things. Maybe that's why he liked puzzles so much; it made challenges feel

Wisdom helps us to walk in a Meaningful direction for our life: Wisdom connects experience to purpose, so we can choose wisely what actually matters. Determination builds confidence over time. Each time we push through difficulty, we prove to ourselves that we’re capable. Sharpens focus and discipline.

Push!! We may not feel like it, but progress demands that when obstacles, situations, and circumstances come our way to seemingly slow or stop us, we've got to find a way to keep moving forward. It's not always easy, but there is a benefit to PUSH!

Forward Friday recaps one of the Christmas memories that made our house during the holiday season as special as it was. Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree, otherwise known as the Weight Watchers Christmas tree. But that tree symbolized the love and warmth our family shared for each other. It also says that the seemingly insignificant things matter too.

Hope is the gentle spark that gets us out of bed in the morning—sometimes just because we’re hoping the coffee tastes right—and the quiet energy that makes even ordinary days feel a little brighter. It keeps life interesting, turning our small “maybe” moments into unexpected joys. But Hope is also far more than a mood booster; it’s a spiritual lifeline. The Bible calls it an anchor for the soul, and God strengthens that anchor when life gets stormy. It's incredible to think t

Forward Friday Recaps the week of the virtues of Self-Control and Courage. Self-control and courage are twin virtues that strengthen the human spirit. Self-control allows a person to master their impulses, think with clarity, and act with integrity even in the face of temptation or anger.

Forward Friday recaps the virtues of common sense and justice. We can always use a healthy dose of common sense to help us navigate daily life wisely, balancing emotion and reason. And Justice.. well, what would happen if we made the commitment to fairness, righteousness, and treating each person as they deserve. Our world would be so different and better for it.

Forward Friday recaps the antidotes of forgiveness, perseverance, and faith. It is no use knowing that there is an antidote that can make all the difference in our lives and not take it. Forgiveness, perseverance, and faith can change the trajectory of our life's path, so it's worth considering taking some good medicine and... It's Good News!!!

Forward Friday recaps the antidote series and the good medicine of gratitude, humility, and joy. Not all poisons come in bottles. Some come in the form of toxic thoughts, trauma, loss, or deep emotional pain. Just as the body can be poisoned, so can the soul. Antidotes, at their core, are symbols of hope. They say: “Yes, this has not been easy. Yes, this is painful. But it is not the end.”

Forward Friday recaps the Antidotes of life. When we share our healing and live out the lessons we've learned, our stories become...
