"Hey Girl, I'm Brie"

At the begining of 2020, I was in the middle of a divorce and I was tired of cleaning up the mess of other people's bad decisions.  I knew that God had better for me! I knew that He had a life of abudance in store for my kids and I, and I was ready to claim it!.  I started doing all the "self-help" work I could get my hands on. From Podcasts to Bible Studies, I was here for it!

I 100% believed that "great" was just around the corner for me and my family and I wanted to be ready when it showed up.

I started by just making a daily list of all the things I was dreaming/praying about.   I was dreaming BIG!  I would write these things out in the present tense- as if they were already true. I am a huge believer in the power that words have & I trust that what we speak about comes about.  

Everything on my list went on a "promis board" so I could see the actual moments in my head.  Not just pictures of things...but what it would look like when I got to take the kids on the big vacation etc". 

At the same time I was  pairing my vision board and  these dream lists with my daily devotional, and that's where some of the magic began...

I would specifically seek out scripture and Bible studies that corellated to what I was writing on my lists.  If I was writing about this thriving business I wanted,  I would pair it with everything God says about entrepeneurship and leadership. If I was writing about my fitness goals, I would incorporate everything I know the Bible says about health and being a good steward of our minds and bodies. 

I started seeing little things happen that were moving me toward the goals and dreams I was praying over. Things were getting good and they were getting good fast!

I had no idea (for like 10 months) that these things, my boards, my lists and God's word, were all working together to manifest the life God wanted for me. It was just what I did.  

Then one day, God turned the lights on for me! "Brie, you are using My promises and My word to fuel everything you are believing for. Every picture on your boards, every item on your list is attached to My divine promises...THAT is why this is working!"

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! Once I realized that I literally couldn't help but share what I knew! I wanted to tell everyone about this and help them do it for themselves! That's how Thanks In Advance came to be!
