Sunday Serenity Reflection: Work as Unto the Lord

Scripture: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
Colossians 3:23 (ESV)

Some days it’s easy to forget Who we truly work for.

We get caught up in deadlines, expectations, personalities, and the subtle pressure to be “seen” by the right people.

Titles, promotions, recognition all of it can quietly become the thing we chase.

And before we know it, our work becomes heavy because we’re carrying it in our own strength.

🙌🏾 But Kingdom leadership is different.

It’s remembering that every assignment, every meeting, every project is ultimately done unto the Lord.

He is the One who guides, equips, and empowers us.

He doesn’t overlook our effort, mishandle our gifts, or ignore our faithfulness.

✔️He sees the things others miss.

✔️He honors what others forget.

✔️And He rewards in ways no organization ever could.

As an entrepreneur when I remember that this business isn’t just mine… it’s His, my whole mindset settles.

My joy stays anchored. My frustration loosens its grip. My interactions become more gracious. My leadership becomes steadier and more grounded.

Because I’m not striving for approval… I’m serving from purpose.

Working unto the Lord brings a peace that business ownership can’t produce on its own.

It reminds me that God is already ahead of me… straightening paths, opening doors, and aligning opportunities I could never create through hustle alone. 🎁

So today, let this truth rest deep in your spirit:

If you want to lead with Kingdom influence, start by remembering Who you’re ultimately serving.

Every moment of diligence, integrity, and excellence is seen and rewarded by God. 🙌🏾

Take Him with you into the work you do this week. He’s the most faithful Leader you will ever follow!

Sometimes life gets so busy that marriage becomes… functional instead of connected.

The schedules. The workdays. The parenting. The ministry. The responsibilities….

You’re doing everything you can l, but the connection doesn’t always keep up.

If you’ve been feeling more like roommates than a married couple, you are not alone!

And you’re not “broken.”

You’re just overdue for intentional reconnection.

That’s why I created The Serenity Marriage Reconnection Sessions.

Two guided virtual evenings designed to help couples:
✔️slow down,
✔️talk,
✔️laugh a little,
✔️and feel emotionally close again… without overwhelm or heavy work.

✨ Registration is open.

Seats are limited.

Join us and strengthen your marriage with intention.

We lead, manage, parent, and make things happen.

But sometimes, life gets so full that marriage quietly slips into roommate mode.

You still care deeply for each other…

but it’s been a while since you felt that easy connection

or shared a moment that wasn’t about work, bills, kids or schedules.

The Serenity Marriage Reset is for couples who want to m:
pause before the year ends,
reconnect,
and start 2026 with more peace, laughter, and closeness.

🗓️ Mondays, Nov 17 & 24 • 7 PM EST (Virtual)

💵 $49 per couple | Includes a couples assessment + the $49 will be credited towards our December 2025 retreat.

Because you’re not roommates; you’re partners. 💚

At Oasis of Serenity, we honor those who serve, past and present.

As a Marine veteran, wife of an Air Force veteran, and daughter of an Army veteran, I carry deep respect for the discipline, teamwork, and resilience that military service instills.

These qualities that still shape how I lead and serve today.

To all veterans: thank you for your courage and commitment!

I’ve learned that God can use even the hardest seasons to reshape how we lead and how we love.

Leadership doesn’t always look like strength.

Sometimes it looks like
tears,
trembling faith,
and showing up when your heart feels shattered.

For me, that moment came the day my seventeen-year-old son was taken away in handcuffs.

That same evening, I was scheduled to teach my first Family Therapy course at a college.

Every part of me wanted to cancel, but deep down, I knew I was supposed to show up.

God’s Spirit strengthened me to stand before that class… not because I was strong, but because HE was present.

That night changed the way I lead.

It taught me that leadership…

❌ isn’t about appearing composed when everything is falling apart

✔️ it’s about being obedient, grounded, and anchored in faith, even when you feel broken.

When I later shared pieces of my story with families facing similar devastation, they said, “SOMEONE LIKE YOU didn’t have to share that.”

That moment humbled me.

It reminded me that people often assume leaders are untouched by pain, but true leadership requires:

transparency
and compassion.

Years later, I presented at the Book of Acts Christian Leadership Conference, hosted by Pastor John and Dr. Tanoa Williams teaching my signature P.A.I.N. Framework:

Perceive,
Analyze,
Identify and
Navigate

It’s a model for turning adversity into growth.

It was born out of my own journey of leading through heartbreak, uncertainty, and grace.

So now, when I train teams and leaders in communication, cohesion, and relationship-centric leadership, I lead with a deeper awareness… one anchored in humility, empathy, and grace.

The very experience that once brought me to my knees now reminds me that leadership
❌ isn’t about having all the answers;

✔️ it’s about seeing people through the lens of compassion, connection, and humanity.

✨ Reflection Prompt:
What experience in your life has reshaped how you lead others?

A message can travel fast and change even faster.

In teams, that shift can cost trust and clarity.

Strong leaders don’t assume they’ve been understood;
they pause to confirm it.

Check out the video to see how🤔

Feeling stretched thin but still unclear?

Here’s a verse to pause with today:

“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Proverbs 16:3

This speaks directly to leaders, entrepreneurs, and those building something meaningful:

Sometimes what we call “planning” is really pressure.

What we call “leadership” is silent overwhelm.

But when we commit our work fully, not partially, God brings clarity.

He doesn’t just want our outcome.

He wants our process.

If this message speaks to where you are right now, comment “Commit” and I’ll personally send by a free tool to
help you reflect, release, and realign.

This week, let’s lead from surrender, not survival. 🕊️

National Boss’s Day: Celebrating the Journey of Self-Leadership

Today, I’m celebrating my boss 😊

ME!

🔥 Being an entrepreneur means leading yourself long before you ever lead others.

It means:
✔️ showing up on the days you’d rather rest,
✔️doing “it” afraid
✔️and learning to extend the same compassion to yourself that you give your team and clients.

Every goal reached, lesson learned, and moment of resilience has been part of the ongoing story of leadership from the inside out.

The kind that starts with character, clarity, and connection.

So today, here’s to the
dreamers,
doers,
and decision-makers 🎉

ones who build, serve, and lead not just for profit, but with purpose. 🙌🏾

Happy National Boss’s Day to every entrepreneur steering their own vision forward. 🥳

Let’s keep leading with courage, calm, and conviction.

It’s been a few months since I spoke at the 3rd Annual BOAN Christian Self-Leadership Conference, hosted by Pastor John Williams Jr. and Dr. Tanoa Williams but the impact of that weekend still lives in me.

Almost three months later, I’m still drawing strength from what God revealed during that time. The clarity… the conviction… the gentle course corrections.

That was more than a speaking engagement , it was an encounter.

The theme was “Self-Leadership for Effective Leadership,” and I had the honor of sharing a message titled “ROOTS of Resilience: Building Self-Leadership for Kingdom Influence.”

We walked through what it means to lead from the inside out with:
self-awareness,
emotional steadiness,
and rhythms that keep us anchored in peace.

So tonight I’m simply pausing to say:
🙌🏽 I’m grateful.
🕊️ I’m still being refined.
📖 And I’m still living out the fruit of that weekend.

To everyone I met in San Antonio… thank you for the love & warm hospitality 💚!

You reminded me that leaders don’t just lead others… we lead ourselves through every season, with God’s peace as our compass.

🎁If you’d like a free copy of the Steadfast Devotional I shared with attendees, comment “STEADFAST” below and I’ll send it your way.
