Burn Your Boats!
photos by: JODIE BRIM CREATIVE YOU WERE BORN FOR GREATNESS! I know, I know, you’ve heard that before. Reality is, you’ve likely heard this Truth so often that it doesn’t really compute anymore. Besides, you assume it’s for everyone else, right? (Nope! I’m talking to YOU!) Every human was born to be great and do […]
Stay in the Fight!
photos by: JODIE BRIM CREATIVE I talk to so many people in a day who fight for things that seem so ridiculously out of reach. Just maybe, I’m talking to YOU! You’ve believed in a turnaround. You’ve held on for dear life, knowing the tide must turn soon because the cliff is imminent. I hear […]
Can You Do it in the Dark?
photos by: JODIE BRIM CREATIVE The craziness around us seems to keep ramping up, doesn’t it? If we’re not facing REALLY hard things, then certainly we’re watching people we love hit walls that leave them gasping for breath. When I think of doing hard things, I can’t help but consider the most decorated Olympic swimmer […]
Keeping it Real; I Know What You’re Thinking
photos by: JODIE BRIM CREATIVE That sounds presumptuous. But, it’s true. I don’t claim to be psychic or any of that nonsense. I don’t pretend to know a person’s thoughts with vivid precision. BUT, I can discern what takes up much of your head space and what doesn’t. Stay with me. I’ve got science to […]
Keeping it Real – Is God Real?
photos by: JODIE BRIM CREATIVE Is God real? Inquiring minds want to know! Even those, ESPECIALLY THOSE, who deny God’s existence secretly contemplate this as they reach the end of their rope and need someone bigger to do the heavy lifting. Consider this. At any given second of the day or night, 20 different people […]
I Remember!
photography by JODIE BRIM CREATIVE Those school pictures from back in the day run together, don’t they? I can’t for the life of me decipher which grade each one represents unless I find Mama’s scribbling on the back. But, with one picture, I don’t wonder for even a second. I remember like it was yesterday: […]
Keeping it Real: His Patience With Me
photography by JODIE BRIM CREATIVE Patience…it’s not my virtue. I’ve worked on it for years, and STILL, my tank runs dry in this department. Given that reality, on this early morning, I’m just about to come out of my chair as I consider the ridiculously extravagant measure of patience God lavishes upon us, upon ME! […]
What You Think About When You Don’t Know You Think About It
photography by JODIE BRIM CREATIVE So, it’s February. How many of those New Year’s Resolutions stuck? Moving right along…. How many of you already feel that, despite your best efforts, nothing has changed? A month into this new year, does everything feel monotonously the same? I hear you. I do! Stay with me. The mind […]
Keeping It Real: Unshakable!
“Unshakable!” It sounds preposterous in these jarring times, doesn’t it? What would you say if I told you that future events are about to shake the earth in ways that make 2020’s shutdown seem like child’s play? I’m not trying to frighten you, but I am trying to prepare you! If we’re not equipped for […]
Keeping It Real: The Magic of Christmas
Love. It’s a word that’s largely overused and severely underdeveloped. We love HGTV. We love weekends. Yet, the ability to genuinely love people often gets lost in the shuffle. In far too many families, love is downright broken. Why? Many times, it’s because love was fragmented in the families before us. The very things we […]
