In this episode, I take a look back at our first 15 episodes and see what "flying lessons" we can gather about living a life of faith.

Six flying lessons:

Melanie Dorsey shares how she first began painting in 2013 on a whim to stage a piece of furniture that she had given a makeover. She listed the piece for sale and knew staging would push the sale. It did but also had several inquiries over her simple bird painting.  

Thus began her "career" in art!  She painted; she prayed. As she prayed and listened, the Lord began speaking here and there to her heart about something new He was leading her to and through.  

What few people know is that her son, Andrew, was (IS) the artist in her family. Many of the supplies I began with were from his stash. Often tears flowed as she picked up a marker, a can of paint, a colored pencil or a waterproof pen - they were little reminders of her son and hints of a new promise from God.

Wendy Hogan is a nurse, homeschooling mom and Noonday Ambassador. She, her husband and her 3 boys reside in Mobile, Alabama.  Their lives are full of legos, laughter, endless jokes, sports, & a whole lotta love.

Michelle shares how God moved her from being a elemetary school teacher to being trained in and practicing art therapy.

Lizzie shares how God led her to step out in faith and open up an art studio and incorporating her lifelong passion for creativity with her established life coaching career.

Karina shares how God has called her to be faithful in community. She shares how her background gives her every reason to shy away from community and not trust, and yet she continues to pursue and thrive in covenant relationships.

Amy shares her journey of her family moving from materialistic and entitled to  generous and service-oriented and how God led her to share in her first book When More Is Not Enough.

Sarah Travis shares the story of how she met her American husband on a missions trip, moved to America to marry him and then how God moved them from DC and then returned them back, restored with a new perspective. Each step was made in obedience with faith.

Donna Jones tells the story of her and her husband struggling through job changes and health issues to face the fear and anxiety of God's calling.

Natalie shares her testimony, including bullying she suffered in school, how she became a believer at age 27 after the loss of her alcoholic father, grief from an abortion, and divorce from her first husband. She shares how God restored her and placed her as a leader of MOPS  and how all of this worked together to lead to her first book Heart Sisters.
