Have you ever had a scary moment that reminded you just how blessed you are? Dave and I were in Texas for an eWomenNetwork event and a visit with family when, the day before we were scheduled to fly home, he started experiencing heat and pain in his legs. After looking up his symptoms and realizing it could be a blood clot, we headed to the ER, where we spent more than five hours getting him checked out. Thankfully, we learned it was a superficial blood clot, and Dave was cleared to fly home to Portland the next day. We were so grateful that he didn’t have to stay in Texas for weeks and, most importantly, that he was going to be okay!
The very next day, I was hosting a Christian women’s retreat at our home with Happy Success Ranch Retreats. Our theme was Hope in the Darkness, but after everything we’d just experienced, I knew we needed to talk about being BLESSED, too. In this week’s video, I share a special BLESSED acrostic to remind us to believe, love, evolve, say our prayers, follow our dreams, remember that we are enough, and don’t doubt. Sometimes life gives you an unexpected reminder to stop and count your blessings. I hope this message encourages you to recognize just how blessed you are!

Here’s my BLESSED poem.
Believe in yourself (and believe in Jesus)
Love yourself (and love Jesus)
Evolve and continue to grow in your faith and in your life
Say your prayers (constantly)
Someday never comes so follow your dreams now
Enough (you are worthy and enough)
Don’t doubt (trust the process and trust Jesus)
