This episode is all about embracing a transition in life. Something that is taking you out of your comfort zone and pushing you to try something new or revisiting something you haven't faced in quite a while. I have struggled with letting go of negative thoughts that want me to believe I am not prepared, that I do not know enough, or that I am likely to fall back into an unhealthy mindset if I revisit something that was once difficult. See how I use my walk with God to armor me while I take those next steps forward! #newchapter #newstart #newbeginnings #tryagain #walkwithGod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abigail-sharpless/support
