Today is all about girl talk! The topic, "Do I have a heart of gratitude that is thankful for the life God allows me to live?"

The podcast opens with Andrea sharing a behind the scenes story of speaking at a national event. At the event, God taught Andrea the valuable lesson that our struggles are worth the tears because they provide an opportunity to trust God, be vulnerable with others, and encourage others with the comfort we have received from God.

In the final portion of the conversation, Andrea and Bethany talk about Genesis 47 and the story of Jacob, Joseph, and the brothers as they settle in Goshen. The story makes a valid point for our daily walks with Jesus. Our life is a pilgrimage or a journey to a final destination in heaven. We will experience hardships along the way. These challenges provide an opportunity for us to look to Jesus and embrace the call to be like Jesus during the good, the bad, and the ugly moments of life.

The final take away from today's conversation is that we all have a chance to thank God for the journey as we recognize that He is always with us... every step of the way!
