This is an usual way to celebrate our hard work but this is obedience. A special gift from my heart to yours for our 100th Podcast episode.

"The days were long and lonely even though I was surrounded by family. The nights were dark and dreary even though I had a snoring sleeping husband next to me. My thoughts were on high alert. Fear gripped my heart anytime I closed my eyes. Sadness stared at me in the face anytime I opened my eyes. I had to escape when the grief hit me one quiet summer day on June 6th, 2020..."

Merry Christmas! On this day, I have no words that can fully express the gratitude that swells up in my heart when I think of you. I may have met you before or may not have met you…yet… but know that I hold you in my heart and constantly pray for those prayers you present to the Lord everyday. He knows and He is working everything out in you, through you and for you. 

In this episode, I teach on three points:

• Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in a the world we live in today
• Addressing the elephant in the rooms of our hearts that often stalls us and prevents us from advancing God’s work
• Adopting the mindset that puts all other mindsets to shame

I wish you a Merry Christmas, enjoy the episode and lets rejoice in the Lord always. Until next time, choose to be, live, and stay FREE. 

PS: I Love You!
