    Sharon Miller joins the Life in Orbit podcast and shares her new book, The Cost of Control. Sharon helps us discover the real power God has given us in Christ, to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives. We break down the cost of control, why we crave it, the anxiety it gives and the real power God promises us. “Everywhere I looked, I saw anxiety, I saw it in the people in our church, I saw it on social media, I saw it in our politics, I saw it on the news. And once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it, so I wanted to understand what was going on and trace the threads back to what it all meant. When the pandemic robbed us of certainty and predictability, it laid bare an idol that had been strangling us, invisibly, for years. Why is our culture chronically anxious? One major factor is our relationship with control.” - Sharon Miller The Cost of Control SHOW NOTES

From learning new things with every milestone, I've had a lot of instances where I need to adjust and have realistic expectations for my toddler. Allowing him to learn in his own way, with support and guidance. Yes letting him pour his own cereal is a mess, yes it's very hard for me to not say “watch out” at every turn. But truthfully he needs to fall down, he needs to make mistakes. This is how kids learn and as soon as we come to terms with that as adults we can lower milestone expectations, rest and trust that what will be, will be.

I really wanted to celebrate the body God gave me and use this 3.1 mile run as an opportunity to hang out with Jesus in stewardship, obedience, worship and love.

Let's be real, it can be a little discouraging but I know from personal experience it's with small daily habits and a big love for God that we can show up every day and really celebrate our bodies. They're capable of so much and we can view this area of our life as a way to spend time with Jesus. Centering Him in our fitness orbit. Friends, we don't need to view fitness as a solution to problems or our identity, hope or happiness. Jesus Christ is always in the center of our lives and areas (even like working-out) can be God honoring and restful in Him. Give it a try!

    I know one of the biggest challenges is purchasing, prepping and actually remembering to eat healthy snacks. But we can do this! Whole food snacks can be a game changer when it comes to your energy, blood sugar levels and overall health. We can have whole food snacks ready to grab and go all week long. Snacks that keep us full, satisfied and challenge us to get creative with new flavor combinations. We just want to keep in mind that great combo pairing of macro + micro nutrients. Pairing carbs, sugar, fiber and protein so we can keep our blood sugar balanced and stay fuller longer. As always, we are looking as these God central focused areas with a changed mindset, let's get snacking!

    Let's be honest, sometimes it's hard to make time to read our Bibles. That doesn't make us bad Christians, maybe we just need to approach this area in a different way. Firstly, I want to encourage you to view this as an invitation into a relationship with God, not an obligation or something to check off. If physically sitting down isn't seasonally realistic for you right now, it's ok! Being a mom of a toddler, trust me I know our hours are stretched. Here me out though, we shouldn't get discouraged because it doesn't look perfect. We can use resources right now, today, that are realistic for our seasons. This episode we are focusing on creating a habit of listening to our Bibles. My audio Bible gave me the opportunity to hear it from another angle, listen to books I had never read, understand the Bible as a whole, pick up on patterns and build a habit that I've maintained for years.
