Ep 260 Peace in the Sandwich Season with Ruthie Gray

42 minutes

Can you have peace in the insanity of the Sandwich Season? Ruthie Gray, author and host the podcast, Sandwich Season Sanity, joins me to today to talk about the struggles we may face when juggling several difficult and time-consuming roles. We are never alone because God knows the way that we take, and you will be encouraged and maybe challenged from our conversation.

Our peace comes from daily laying down our lives, our plans, our "To-Do Lists" to the One Who really is in control. "Pray your list," Ruthie says. And when we do, we will have peace in any life-season.

Let’s trade not-so-helpful stress for encouragement that hits right at home.

Some gems from our podcast today:

Laying down our past roles doesn't come easy because we can wrap our identity in those roles instead of who we are in Christ.

There's a grief in releasing our kids and their kids into the Lord's control instead of hanging on to them for dear life.

I can't afford to not spend time in God's Word, journaling, praying Scripture back to God and giving him my "to-do list" for the day.

Our peace can only be as big as our faith, clinging to God no matter what the day brings.

If you want a good relationship with your adult kids, ask open-ended questions instead of telling them what they already know about you and your well-laid out plans for your life (and their's!)

I can idolize my title like "mom" or "grandma" so when they change, I go through an unnecessary identity crisis.

We need to allow time for our own soul care to be healthy and ready for the next challenge life offers, welcomed or not.

Ruthie Gray's book, Empty Next Awakening may be just what you need currently and it also makes a great gift for a friend.
