Finding A Better Way

Send us a textWhat tactic is the enemy using to make sure you don't receive your blessings? Getting still, getting quiet, but being BOLD in your faith. As a “professional yapper” it was humbling to hear God tell me to “be quiet.” He can hear our thoughts though, the enemy can't. Have you ever thought about that? How the enemy only knows what WE tell him? We give him the blueprints to take us down then act surprised when it happens. Stop looking for your value and seeking validation from the world. Proverbs 3:15 “She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare to her.” Support the show

Send us a textToday I was feeling overwhelmed, over it, and over life. Sometimes comparison takes over and I have to ground myself and remind myself that the only person I should be comparing myself with is my old-self. Notice all the selfs? Seems selfish reading it that way, but we do have to take care of ourselves. It is kinda like when they tell you on an airplane you have to put your mask on before you help someone else. I want you to remember a few random thoughts;Hurt people hurt peopleCompare yourself only to your past self Social Media isn't always as it seemsCelebrate the small victoriesRemember you are worthy and so important Support the show

Send us a textHow often are you letting the enemy in? Those thoughts of "I'm not good enough, I'm not worthy, & I don't belong"... those are whispers from the enemy and when we entertain them, we are letting them in. Please know that you ARE worthy, you ARE important, and YOU ARE so loved!”We aren't fighting against human enemies but against rulers, authorities, forces of cosmic darkness, and spiritual powers of evil in the heavens.“ Ephesians 6:12 Support the show

Send us a textToday's episode is a bit special, as I have author and friend Joey Hodges joining me. We are talking all things related to being a wife, mom, and Christian. What all that looks like for us, how we are navigating it, and how can we possibly find a better way. We took a deep dive into homeschool, kids and social media, and even what we see as the hardest part of being a mom. We saved the best for last and spoke a little on seasonal depression. What that looks like for us personally, how we are coping with it, and the real/raw truths of what you don't see on social media. Thanks for joining us today, happy to have you here!HolsSupport the show

Send us a Text Message.Today we are talking conviction, being lukewarm, prioritizing your life, back to school things, and some wild fun facts. I have felt convicted over some things in my life lately and I feel in my heart it is because God is on the move.

Have you ever seen that “let them” post? I loved that so much and I really resonated with it, but today we are talking how to “don't let them." We shift gears right after because of a storm I drove through, God showed me a way of looking at leaving your past behind and not letting the darkness overtake the light. Come with me on a deep dive of my views on all of this and a part of my testimony. Don't let them ruin your peaceDon't let them make you step out of characterDon't let them get the best of you if they don't even deserve any of youDon't let them cause you to compare or question your worthDon't let them in Support the Show.

Struggling with the desire for people to like you? The fear of never fitting in and overanalyzing conversations when you walk away? Where does it stem from and how do we cope with it? Let's unpack it with a VERY special guest, my sweet friend, Priscilla. With casual conversation we take a deep-ish dive into where this is rooted and why we are dealing with this even as adults. Take expectation off of where you think you should be in your healing journey and learn that who you are... IS ENOUGH. You are enough friend.  Support the show

How we don't all actually have the same 24 hours in a day, how we have to take expectations off other people, and most importantly to stop taking everything so personal. We also took a dive into a bible study I am currently in, we are reading 'Girls With Swords' and it has been at just the right time in my life. The latest chapter was The Battleground and lately I have felt like I have been standing in the middle of a battlefield. Support the show

Are you spending your time worrying about or "chasing tomorrow"? Are you comparing to the point you have lost yourself?

Each person will have to carry their own load.”Hebrews 12:1 says “Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus….”Support the show
