Happy Holidays! How are we already near Christmas time?! With the busy days ahead, I hope you will take the time to rest, recharge, reset, and make memories with those who are important to you. And, remember, not everyone has a family or loved ones near them, or they may just be struggling in general. Choose kindness, patience, and love just as God provides these gifts to us.
Fall is here and this year is flying by! Every day brings new hope and new beginnings, but we have the choice of which path we will follow. Today’s episode will encourage you to pick up a physical Bible, choose a relationship with Christ to build your courage in your faith, and spread God’s Word to help good fight evil.
Happy April and happy Spring! With the recent storms and weather, we may have many challenges we are working through. Use God and His Word during these times to help navigate the difficult days but also to give us wisdom to know these are temporary times, and He has a plan throughout the journey that leads us from trials to triumphs.
Happy New Year!! I am thrilled to have 52 weeks, 12 months, and 365 days ahead for new adventures, blessings, and achievements! Reflecting on 2024 allows for us to see that we gained strength, wisdom, and new priorities that can feed into 2025. And, wisdom is my wish to you so as you encounter each day in this new year, you will have joy, happiness, challenges, and sorrow while also having the wisdom to know how important each of those are.
Happy Christmas season! What can be the most magical time of the year can also be challenging. Today we will talk about how Jesus is the true reason for the season, and all other seasons, and how the greatest gift of all was born in a manger, promising us eternal life for all who choose to follow Him. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and we should celebrate the gift of Salvation while rejoicing in all the blessings and challenges that we have lived in this last year. You are so blessed & loved! Merry Christmas!
Happy Fall! It’s so hard to believe Thanksgiving and the holiday season are here. We all have different paths to walk, but we all have blessings surrounding us every day. The holidays can be challenging and frustrating but can also be beautiful and magical - it’s how we choose to approach the days and how we choose to embrace the moments. This episode shines a light on how to change our perspective so that we can be grateful for all we have, even if in the middle of challenging moments.
The back to school season is so exciting and stressful all at the same time. There are many new adventures ahead, but these can also create anxiety on what the future looks like. We are not here to solve everyone’s problems around us, but rather, we should be asking God to take on this role and trusting that His plan is the best one. Some of us feel like we should be the fixer of all things but if we do that, we are not teaching others how to take control of their own situations and be responsible for their own lives. Today, we’ll talk through how to control what we can and how to not spend as much time in our lives worrying over the uncontrollable or trying to solve everyone else’s problems.
The summer months are a perfect time to enjoy vacations and some downtime before the year gets too hectic in the fall/winter months. We’ll talk through how God wants us to use Him when we begin to worry about different things, and how we can trust that what we are going through (or will go through) will make us stronger on the other side. We’ll also talk through a GLAD method of how we can practice gratitude every day to help us recognize our blessings and lean on God to guide us through situations as life happens.
May is Mental Health Awareness month, so it’s a perfect time to prioritize our mental health which helps us also have strong physical & emotional health. This will look different for everyone, and today we will talk through tips & tricks on how to work through challenges that you may be facing. Remember that it’s OK to not be OK and the more you talk about what’s impacting you, the more you are able to positively impact your total well-being. With 1 in 5 adults facing mental health challenges, it’s so important to understand what resources are available.
Everyone is carrying a burden of some kind, although they may not show it on the outside. In order to Be A Light in the world, let’s choose kindness with our words and actions towards others. One small gesture - a smile or saying a simple hello - can help someone in their moment of need, even if it’s a silent need. The story of the funeral we will read today resonated with me on how people can be impacted for the rest of their lives based on what type of interactions they have with us. It’s a great reminder of how kindness can positively impact those around us.
