"Who's approval are you living for? Because God Wired us for relationships, each of us carries a desire to be loved, to be valued, and to be appreciated. We long to feel accepted and approved by others. This longing for belonging, the desire to "fit in" and feel connected to others , is the driving force behind many of the choices we make"- Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life, day 42 Join me on this weeks episode, as I read snippets from the last day of the book Purpose Driven Life. It has truly been a pleasure going on this journey with you.

"Why does she get to live in that house?" "Why did he get that job" "Why can't I be that attractive, that rich, that smart, that famous?" Envy distracts your focus away from what God want's to do in your life and refocuses it on all that you don't have. - Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life, Day 41

Something was found of mine... something from a long time ago, something from when I was suicidal and this book was given to me. It still amazes me how God works, and how he uncovered something...for you! For you, to find out about, in this episode!

It took experiencing Hurricane Ida for me to really understand the answer to this question! Between the pandemic, hurricanes, the Haiti earthquakes, floods, the tragedy in Afghanistan, and all other sickness, natural disasters, and suffering, I feel like sharing some clarity on this popular question is fitting... as well as necessary !

I talk about some amazing people in this weeks episode... like Hosanna Wong (spoken words artist and author), Mia Rene (business coach and host of "God Centered Success" podcast), and Pastor Emil (pastor of Open Arms Church Slidell and host of "Sweet Jesus " podcast). I also read snippets from the book Purpose Driven Life, Day 37. In todays chapter we learn that "God wants to speak to the world through you!"

"I have been brainwashed to believe that I am not smart, that my existence is not important in any way, that my feelings, want's, needs, and emotions are all null and void. And that my friend, creates quite the complex!" Listen to this weeks episode to find out why I open up about my "complex" and why the book Purpose Driven Life has helped me understand my 5th purpose in life!

"God Loves To Use Weak People." That's right.... Your weakness's are vital when it comes to acting out your calling! Read along with me in the book Purpose Driven Life to find out why...

"Money has the greatest potential to replace God in your life. More people are sidetracked from serving by materialism than anything else" In this weeks episode we read in the book Purpose Driven Life about Money, the service of self- serving, "name dropping" and other self destructive tendencies.

"Unfortunately, many leaders today start off as servants but end up as celebrities. They become addicted to attention, unaware that always being in the spotlight blinds you." In todays world everybody wants to be a celebrity! Between Facebook, instagram, twitter, snap chat, tiktok and other social media platforms it seem's that being in the limelight is easier than ever! However, in day 33 of the book Purpose Driven Life we will read why this is actually not always as beneficial as you would think!

"Ask yourself questions: What do I really enjoy doing most? When do I feel the most alive? " These questions (and more) are asked of you in the book Purpose Driven Life. So lets sit down, and ask our selves some important questions in order to find out who God really made you to be!

"Even abilities used in sin are God-given; they are just being misused or abused". During this weeks reading of The Purpose Driven Life we dig deep in YOUR abilities, YOUR experiences, and YOUR God given gifts.... Even if they are being used for Satan instead of our Savior. Even a striper is using her God given gifts of rhythm, beauty, and artistry...she is just using them for the wrong team!

"Your spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit...God planned it this way so we would need each other" In the book Purpose Driven Life we begin to find our S.H.A.P.E. If you want to know more about yourself than tune into this weeks episode of Abundantly Able.

None of these will have lasting significance" In this weeks episode we discuss what God is calling you to do and how crucial it is to not ignore his calling, in day 29 of the book Purpose Driven Life.

"God made every one of us a sexual being , and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural spontaneous, God-given response to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will"

"Due to a perfect storm of sexual abuse, abusing birth control, and my body having horrible reaction to birth control. I actually am now unable to have children, but that has just fueled my passion for children". Yeah, I get a little REAL at the end of this weeks episode... will you?

"We can't watch television for three hours, then read the Bible for three minutes and expect to grow" Ouch! That stings a little Rick! In this weeks episode of Abundantly Able we are reading snippet's from Day 24 of the book Purpose Driven Life, in which we will cover Biblical reading, researching, doing, and memorizing. I also go on a few of my tangents in regards to brain/ memory dysfunction and memory recall techniques.
