🚨 STOP SCROLLING... THIS IS IMPORTANT 🚨

NZ Gather & Grow 2026 tickets are disappearing faster than we expected.

In fact, we're getting very close to capacity for our Auckland event on 7 November 2026, and tickets are selling very fast.

So if you’ve been thinking:

👉 "I'll grab my ticket later..."
👉 "I'll decide next week..."
👉 "I've been meaning to do that..."

This is your sign.

Please don't leave it too late and miss out, because once we reach capacity, that's it. No extra seats. No last-minute tickets.

And here's a little hint from our favourite Kiwi... 👀✨

We're not finished rewarding this incredible community yet.

The best is still to come.

If Gather & Grow NZ has been sitting quietly in the back of your mind, now is the time to lock in your spot.

Join us in Auckland for a day filled with learning, connection, inspiration, content creation, growth, and a community that genuinely wants to see you win.

Secure your seat before someone else takes it.

See you in Auckland November7th 2026! 🇳🇿❤️

How Weakness Becomes Strength

Think of a situation you wish you could change, and then imagine what the apostle Paul must have been going through in 2 Corinthians 12.

Paul was suffering, so he repeatedly begged God to remove his pain. But God doesn’t change Paul’s situation. Instead, God tells Paul that His “grace is enough” for him.

Charis, the ancient Greek word for “grace,” conveyed the favor that God showed humanity when He sent Jesus to earth for us.

Before Jesus, people couldn’t draw near to God on their own. But Jesus made a way for anyone to experience intimacy with God. A relationship with God isn’t something we earn—it’s a free gift we receive when we accept that Jesus died for us and rose from the dead.

So when God tells Paul that His “grace is sufficient,” what He’s essentially saying is: “I am enough for you.”

God could meet Paul’s needs because God was all Paul needed—and God was with Paul. The influence Paul had was only because God chose to show off His power through him.

“For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7 NIV

We are all like “jars of clay”—simple and not that impressive. But when we submit our lives to God, we become containers that showcase His power.

Like Paul, we can then boast about how weak we are so that God gets the credit for every great thing that happens to us.

Our situations might not change, but our cry often changes from, “God, please remove this suffering,” to, “God, when I suffer—show me how You are using this for Your glory and my good.”

So whatever you’re facing, know that God is near. He sees you and He loves you. Take some time today and ask God to show you how He is empowering you. Draw near to Him, and let Him strengthen you🙏❤️

What’s the bigger risk in 2026… starting something new or depending on ONE income? 👀

Because let’s be real…

Jobs aren’t as secure as they used to be.
The cost of living keeps climbing.
AI is changing industries overnight.
And most people are still putting all their financial security into a single paycheck. 😬

Meanwhile, we live in a time where you can build an online business from your phone, from anywhere in the world, often starting part time while keeping your current job.

We’re not saying quit your job tomorrow…
We ARE saying having multiple streams of income is no longer “extra.”
It’s becoming necessary.

And honestly?
The people who adapt the fastest usually win.

The internet created more millionaires than any other shift in history… and we still believe we’re only scratching the surface.

So again…
What’s actually riskier in 2026?

Taking a chance on yourself?
Or depending on one company to decide your future? 👀

What I love about this story is that it's not really about fruit cake at all—(this is the story I shared earlier today about the pantry clean-out and the fruit cake!) - It's about making the most of what you already have and finding joy in unexpected moments.

Sometimes life hands us ingredients we weren't planning to use, and somehow they turn into something that brings people together around the table. 🥰
May your pantry surprises continue to turn into sweet family memories. 💕

Tonight's fruit cake wasn't part of the plan at all! 😄

I was doing a pantry clean-out and checking expiry dates when I discovered two items getting very close to their "use me or lose me" date:

🥣 Fruit cake mix
🥥 Coconut milk powder

Guess what they're good for?

Yep... fruit cake! 😂

At that point, I figured everyone in the house was going to have to like fruit cake because I was baking it anyway!

Thirty minutes later, the kitchen smelled absolutely amazing. 😋

The biggest surprise?
Dave loved it.
My granddaughter loved it.
And suddenly my "use up the pantry" mission turned into a family favourite dessert moment. ❤️

A little reminder that sometimes the best things happen when life takes you off your carefully planned schedule.

Lesson of the day:💐
Not everything needs to go according to plan. Sometimes what looks like an interruption becomes a sweet surprise that brings everyone together💓

Question of the day:
Have you ever created something wonderful simply because you didn't want it to go to waste?
