🌸 The Beauty of an “Aha” Moment 🌸
As a therapist, one of my greatest joys is seeing the lightbulb come on for a client. That moment when their perspective shifts, when they see themselves or their situation in a new way, and I witness the visible sigh of relief. It’s powerful.
Therapy isn’t about giving people all the answers. It’s about holding space where someone feels safe, heard, and free of judgment. In that space, clarity emerges, and those small but meaningful “aha” moments often become the stepping stones to lasting change.
This is also the heart behind my book, A Matter of Perspective. Just as in the therapy room, it’s not about ignoring pain or pretending everything is fine, it’s about learning to view challenges through a new lens. With a shift in perspective, doors open to healing, growth, and resilience.
Because sometimes the only thing standing between where you are and where you want to be… is a new perspective.
If you’ve been searching for encouragement and practical tools to change the way you see your life, I invite you to explore my book on Amazon:

My written goals are seeds planted in faith, destined to bear fruit.

Why We Write It Down

Habakkuk 2:2 reminds us that vision is not meant to remain hidden in our thoughts or locked in our hearts. God told the prophet to write it plainly so that it could be understood, shared, and acted upon.

Writing the vision is an act of clarity, faith, and accountability.

When you create your 300 List, you are doing more than jotting down dreams. This list, inspired by the story of Gideon in the Bible and encouraged by Steve Harvey, list of 300 godly beliefs that serve as a visual testament to trusting God’s promises.

It's not about scribbling random wishes; it’s about seeking His will, writing it clearly, and creating space for His power to move in your life.

Writing things down shifts them from wishful thinking to intentional faith. It trains your mind to recognize opportunities, prepares your heart for alignment, and invites you to partner with God in the unfolding of your purpose.

So when you put pen to paper, you are not just making a list, you are planting seeds. Every time you read your list, morning and night, you water those seeds with prayer, belief, and expectation. And in due time, you will see the fruit.

The Power of Asking: Why God Wants Us to Bring Our Requests to Him

When I was a kid, I’d sometimes ask my dad for lunch money or a few dollars to hang out with my friends. I knew he always carried some money, rolled up in his pockets or tucked inside his wallet. But just because he had it didn’t mean he would automatically hand it over.

He had questions.
“What do you need it for?”
“How much do you need?”
“Didn’t I give you money yesterday?”

Looking back, I realize my dad wasn’t trying to withhold something from me. He was teaching me to think, to be responsible, and to appreciate what I was asking for. His questions were about shaping me, not shaming me.

God Works the Same Way
The Bible tells us clearly:
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)

“You do not have it because you do not ask God.” (James 4:2)
God already knows what we need (Matthew 6:8), yet He tells us to ask. Why? Because asking grows us. Just like my dad’s questions, God’s invitation to ask is not about denying us, but about shaping us.

Why God Tells Us to Ask
Relationship – Asking draws us closer. We learn to lean on Him instead of ourselves.

Faith – Asking stretches belief. Even mustard-seed faith can move mountains (Matthew 17:20).

Alignment – Asking reshapes our desires. Over time, we begin to pray not just for what we want, but for what aligns with His will (1 John 5:14).

Gratitude – Asking teaches us to recognize His hand when the answer comes.

Prayer is not about treating God like a vending machine. It’s about drawing closer to the Father who knows what we need and loves us enough to give what is truly good.
