We are on our 40th episode today! I'm flying solo to share my podcasting journey and life lessons from the previous episodes.

It's impossible to have figured out everything before you start something
Find your why on those days that are more difficult and you will feel like you can finish what you have started
It's the mess and the difficulty that drives us to dependence and reminds us that we can't control everything
I don't need to worry about what's going on with everyone else
I need to be worried about staying on the path that God has called me to

All these valuable life lessons and more that you can apply in your life while you're finding and fulfilling God's plan in your life
