Encouragement that lifts you higher because we were made to SOAR!
In a world that wants to break us down, Wings Up aims to encourage and inspire personal growth and positive thinking. I believe with God we can rise beyond our limits, empower our minds by empowering one another and unleash our truest potential. Through every challenge, we lift each other higher - fueling growth, courage, and the unwavering belief that the sky is not the limit. It's just the beginning. Believe in yourself and remember you have everything you need in Jesus. Let Him help you rise to fly in all areas of your life. When you don't feel like you can take another step, raise your arms, and let God's Spirit lift you. Remember to keep your "Wings Up"!
Encouragement for Our Daily Walk (Book)
How do we keep our steps from faltering?
Where can we find the endurance to keep going each day?
The moment the alarm clock goes off, our minds start rolling. As our feet hit the floor, the wheel of schedules and tasks begins the marathon of our day. With so many distractions, it is easy for all of us to get knocked off center. We can choose to add protection to our thoughts by aligning them upward with God's direction for our walk each day. This 365-day reading can help us set each day with inspiration as a motivation for our steps through this journey we all call life. Each day ends with an inspirational verse from the Bible.

Focus On Your Blessings (Gratitude Journal)
Focus On Your Blessings (Gratitude Journal)
This book is a daily gratitude journal designed to help you start each day with a heart full of thankfulness. By focusing on three things you're grateful for every morning, you can shift your mindset away from negativity, anxiety, and comparison, to developing a deeper awareness of your blessings, even in difficult times. Through consistent practice, this journal encourages a life centered on love, peace, and God’s presence. Gratitude is not just a feeling, it’s a daily habitual action that brings clarity, hope, and spiritual alignment. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, everything we do should be done with thankfulness to God. Use this journal as a tool to grow in faith, promote positivity, and invite more of God into your life each day.

about the vessel of Wings Up
Kristie Ratliff
"Wings Up" has emerged from my passion and spiritual gift, which seeks to inspire and uplift others to soar higher in life. I love sharing encouragement through multiple avenues. Whether gathering in-person, meeting virtually for Bible study, or touching lives through email, I love inspiring humans to keep their "Wings Up" in their daily walk. This has grown from overcoming my own personal struggles, and I believe that my past can help someone else's future.
After serving 30 years in public education, I retired, and recognized the gap in my schedule while God was expanding my capacity to continue coaching and mentoring educators virtually across the country. This lit a fire like never before to begin leading community Bible studies.
I reside in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where I live with my husband, Brad, and our two furbabies, Phoenix and Paisley. We have a son, daughter-in-love, granddaughter, and grandson, who live near us, along with a daughter who resides in Los Angeles, California.
My Mission
God sparked the fire in me to walk into my calling and ministry. I aim to inspire, uplift, and empower individuals to live their best lives, I believe that everyone has the potential to achieve greatness, and I'm here to help you unlock yours in any way I can.
I believe God designed my path to lead me through such a character-building career, filled with love, loss, and trival times, to now only wanting to serve, give back, and seek God's will over my own. I'm a living testament to not give up on being a better you and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you through Scripture and sit in His presence. I stay active in my own learning and training, seeking to know our Lord more and how I can be His vessel for others. I follow Jesus with my life and follow His direction in all things. I'm here for you and encourage you to keep your "Wings Up"!
I'm here to listen to you, talk with you, and come alongside you to encourage and pray with you. We were created to support one another and never face life hardships alone.
To God be the glory!
