Real and Relentless

Today's episode is inspired by my rabbit-hole down Pinterest quotes and just about being a good freakin' human being. I chat about choosing kindness, confronting unkind circumstance in your life and staying true to your character in the midst of unwelcomed energy. Being a kind person rocks. And it's really one of those things that makes US feel good, too. Let us be the energy we want to attract and make people's days awesome for no other reason but just because. Because kindness matters. And it's really that simple. Choose to be the kind person. Have a great week and go make someone's day better than it was before you were in it! Because humans have superpowers, and one of our greatest is the gift of kindness.

There are times in our lives we all feel as though we are running on empty, and especially throughout this year of unknowns I know this feeling has weighed heavy on many hearts. In this episode we dive into 2 Kings 4:1-7. Sometimes in life it feels we've lost everything. From a job, to a family member, to falling short and behind on bills; life can truly seem unmanageable and unconquerable at times. It can really feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders and as though we've got a full plate and nothing to provide. Today we sum up all of these parts with provision and faith, as well as the ability to walk through a seemingly dark season with our head held high. Thank you for listening, I hope this episode touches your heart.

Faith is the evidence of things unseen, therefore sometimes faith can be hard to truly find and rest in. But what about when we know it's there, but we're not sure how to find OUR unique connection with God? Sometimes we feel as though there’s another level of it, but we’re just not sure how to reach it. In this weeks epsiode I'm touching base on finding and exploring your faith as an adult and how to find the connection that feeds your heart and soul- endlessly.
