Lindsey spends time recapping the 5 Day Challenge and details her experience. God brought to light something HUGE for her that was convicting and "disgusting". But, thank the good Lord that where we fail, he gives us grace.

With her husband going back to work until she's finished chemotherapy, Lindsey's emotions are at a low point and she confesses the inner struggle of wanting the holy spirit to be alive within her, while the flesh finds everything to be brutally unfair. 

Don't be like the "Man On the Roof". Be smart, y'all.

Do you get too comfortable with the world that you let the world have the #1 spot in your life where God should be? 

JOIN ME in this 5 Day Challenge (starting May 7th 2020 for those listening on release day- ANY TIME for those listening at a later date):

Day 1: Think about and write down the times you've been closest to God in your life. 

*Give yourself time and take the day to think about it and be honest with yourself and God. Have you been closest to him during hard times? Or have you been closest to him mostly in good times? Maybe a little of both?

Day 2: Think about and write down why you think with each period of time, you ended up letting your relationship with God go a bit- putting God on the back burner. 

Day 3: Take time today to write down the relationship you want to have with God. Take away all the reasons (excuses, more like it) going through your head that make you think it's impossible. If you had an abundant amount of time to give and invest in your time with the Lord, what would that look like to you? Really go FULL OUT with this one and don't hold back. 

Day 4: Think about and write down the people you make the most time for on a daily (or almost daily) basis in your life. Your spouse, your kids, your best friend, your parents, and so on. Whoever it is, write their names down and beside each name, write down how often you communicate with them per day (average) and what that relationship looks like. 

*What do these relationships mean to you? They're bound to have their ups and downs, but the amount of time put into these relationships creates an unbreakable bond that can weather the fiercest of storms if you treat them right and put forth the effort that they deserve. 

*Don't you think your relationship with God would be even better if you put that kind of effort into being present with him?

Day 5: The final day. Take today to, as best you can, live out what you wrote down on Day 3. If it's really over the top, do the best you can to treat God like he's one of the most important people in your life. THE most important person. 

*Take him through your day. Invite him in to the good, bad, and ugly! 

*At the end of the day, write down how you feel. Did making time for God hinder your work? Or motherhood? Did it derail your plans or prevent you from giving time to your other relationships? 

*Or was it all okay? Did it feel really good? Did you sense God's presence in the way you handled the events of your day? Did he influence your decisions? Your demeanor?

From Lindsey: "I've received a lot of messages lately asking about my cancer and if I need chemo or not, or questions about why I need chemo since my doctors initially thought there was a good chance I wouldn't. I realized that I've primarily used this platform (the Failing Awesomely podcast) to give every little detailed update, but haven't posted on social media to update those who don't have the extra 25-50 minutes to listen to a detailed podcast. I decided a quick cancer recap episode might be best for those who have a shorter amount of time, but are really interested in knowing what's going on. I said at the beginning of the episode that I was going to try to make it 10 minutes or less, but it's really hard to cram in over 2 months of someone's cancer journey in such a short amount of time. I did my best and know that the 14 minutes is worth your time. Promise. Thank you all so much for coming on this journey with me, especially for your prayers and support. Love y'all. - Lindsey"

Thanks for coming back to listen to another episode of the Failing Awesomely podcast and joining Lindsey in her breast cancer journey. In this week's show, Lindsey talks about the many scans she had to get now that we knew the cancer spread to her lymph nodes, the results of those scans, her results from genetics testing, FINALLY meeting with her medical oncologist, getting a second opinion, getting a second second opinion, her second surgery, and the pathology results. And one BIG surprise that we didn't see coming. 

Isaiah 55:11 - It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to. And it will prosper everywhere I send it.

Currently Reading: Psalm 118 over and over and over...and then some more. And Isaiah 53:5.
