Stewarding Your Season


Life often comes in many different colors, shades, and prints. Sometimes it feels bright, beautiful, and straight. Sometimes it doesn’t. What then do you do? Can you still live a NYTA life on those days when things don’t go the way you imagine or picture they would?

The beauty about the NYTA (Not Your Typical Anything) life, the extraordinary life in God through Christ, is that it is not based on feelings or what we see or don’t see. It is a life centered on who God is and TRUST in His unwavering and unshakeable nature.

It is a life of KNOWING who He is and KNOWING who He says you are, regardless of what you may or may not be seeing or feeling. It is a life of DEPENDENCE on His strength and abilities, which are unlimited, rather than on your own limited strength and ability.

The NYTA life ushers you from a life of human-ability to the life of God’s ability, regardless of the circumstances.

It is a life where you don’t look like what your realities, feelings, circumstances, or society dictates that you should look or be like. Most importantly, it is a life dependent on relationship with God and it starts with SUNRRENDER. It takes relationship with God through Jesus Christ to enter the lifestyle that is fueled by God’s ability. It takes:

  • KNOWING (whose you are and who you are)
  • SURRENDER (to doing life with Him and not alone)
  • TRUST (in who He is)
  • DEPENDENCE (on His ability & capability, and not your own)

Think of one thing in your life you can surrender to God today. What would it look like to trust Him completely and hand over every color, shade, and print of your life to Him? You can trust in His ability, because it is limitless.

If this message resonates with you, my book, NYTA: Not Your Typical Anything, takes this journey deeper and invites you into the extraordinary life in Christ.

P.S. I send out this newsletter once weekly to help you step into the extraordinary life in Christ. I invite you to share this Newsletter with the people you know who may be encouraged by NYTA’s message.

With love,

Have you ever stopped to thank God for the heart that keeps you alive? Every time you wake up, your heart is beating. What a gift! But beyond the physical heart is another heart we need—a heart that knows God, seeks Him, and desires an authentic relationship with Him. Recently, while studying Scripture, I found something fascinating: the heart we need to know God is a gift He is willing to give us. We don't have to figure it all out on our own. Think about these two Scriptures: “I will give...

The NYTA life is not just about knowledge or action; it is also about relationship. Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, with the promise that all these things shall be added unto us. These things include food, clothing and the everyday needs of life. It is a call to prioritize God and trust Him with the rest. But what does it mean to seek Him? Jeremiah 29:13 says, “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” NYTA...

Like a precious stone whose worth cannot be measured, Knowledge is a hidden gem we too often overlook. I never realized the depth and value of knowledge until I began to study God’s word: the Bible, which is a treasure. It is remarkable how many blessings are tied to knowledge, according to the Scriptures. All things that pertain to life and godliness are found through knowledge (2 Pet 1:3). Strength and exploits are found in knowledge (Dan. 11:32). Increased strength is found in knowledge...
