I waved good-bye to summer last week. And our family calendar breathed a sign of relief that September was almost here.
We stuffed August with everything that didn’t fit into June and July. Wisdom teeth pulled. Driver’s Ed classes and behind-the-wheel hours completed. Two visits and ten hours of DMV waiting room enjoyment endured. Driver’s test passed and permit acquired. New “Social butterflies” group for Aster survived. {The people were lovely; her reaction to a new environment was not-so-lovely}.
And then there were pool parties, family-get-togethers and out-of-town guests, plus a little overnight get-away with my hubby.
But the best of all? A vacation I had been counting down the weeks for!!
Five days, all five of us together at Fripp Island, SC before school started. I can’t even tell you how grateful I was to be there with my people. The weather was beautiful. The memories sweet. And all of it was just what this mama’s heart needed.
And now September is here.
Kids are back in school and I can hear myself think again.
So what am I going to do with all my time? Well, God doesn’t believe in boredom for this girl. He’s been working behind the scenes, bringing about some neat opportunities, unexpected changes, hard decisions and a little bit of crazy circumstances to kick off my fall.
It’s been two years since my book, A Confident Heart released. And much to my surprise, New Life 91.9FM {our local Christian Radio station in Charlotte, NC} asked me this summer if I would kick off the fall with them and their partner stations in SC, NJ and PA through a FREE Confident Heart Video series.
Featuring my NEW Confident Heart DVD — which releases TODAY!

- The perfect confidence boost for the Fall – the radio stations will be offering two video segments on their website each week for FREE {with 2 never-before-seen teachings filmed after our last study} — and this is offered all throughout September.
- I’ll also be joining their morning show team 2 days a week. {Why not call in so we can chat! :).
I’ll be sharing new insights and stories God’s writing in my life through these days. Stories that include how to keep your confidence after you lock your kid and your keys in the car on a 100 degree day with no way to get her – as well as -how to keep your composure after a head-on collision with a set of monkey bars. All in the very relaxing, slow moving month of August. Nice. It’s going to be lots of fun and just think how much better you’ll feel about yourself after you hear about my shenanigans!

The videos are awesome Renee! I’m so glad I signed up to receive them! My women’s small group at church is going through your book “A Confident Heart” as our newest study! I’m praying we all can have a “confident” heart in Jesus when we are through!
Blessings to you!
This book and video series is just what I need right now to move forward in what God wants me to do. I have struggled with a lack of confidence for a very long time and have prayed that God would help me. Thank you for writing this book and everything else you are doing.
