Feeling Good About God

Psalm 20-21 just reaffirmed to me that someone at sometime has been very thankful to God for bringing them to His side. In this case King David is overwhelmed with how great it is that God cares about Himself and has brought David to know salvation in the LORD. There is genuine joy in David's heart for God's goodness and justice. There is rejoicing, blessing, fulfilled request, trust, strength, wrath for evil and praise just to name some instances of God's ability and character in regard to his relationship with people and David's responses. 

Know that goodness will overcome and evil will meet it's end. There is no strength higher than God's and no weapon that will hurt Him. Though we ache and suffer in this present age there will be a time of overcoming what overwhelms us. When we see the end of our days we should rest assure that life could have been worse, if not for God. No matter the circumstance there is a great reward at the end of all things when death is thrown into the lake of fire, we will again rejoice!

amen to that. just talked with a woman at a store who lost her legs and was burned over most of her body including her face, badly scarred and yet, she rejoices in her SAVIOUR and loves HIM! she had a light in her beautiful eyes and her face shone. what a testimony she is every day just smiling at the world....makes me ashamed at my little grumblings.

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

THE OVER-SHARER SHARES AGAIN   For the very small handful of people who have asked, I’m answering to the masses (err, bigger handful). On February 1, I decided to take a social media fast. Our church was challenging us to a 21-day fast and I chose to fast not from food but from something else I had been looking to for satisfaction, delight or distraction. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and with the exception of popping on to facebook to check in with my business partners, I have found great freedom stepping away from social media (right now). Currently, I don’t have a plan to return, but I also know that I should never say never…. …Watch me pop right back in and eat crow in mere moments if I was to say I would be off of it forever. Honestly, social media has been a beautiful thing for me personally, and professionally, for well over a decade. It has allowed me to authentically and organically share my passions, ask my questions, get and give referrals, build and reconn...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...
