Growing Women of Faith Podcast

What does it mean to rest?  Well that is a very good question.  

We know that rest looks different for everyone and we also understand that life stops us from finding rest.  

Verses: John 16:33, Mark 6:32, Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 55:6 and Genesis 2:2-3.

We would love to hear how you are currently Resting In Today or how you plan to.

Take away: Set a time limit for social media or just take it off all together. Set a timer at some point in the day to remind you to rest. Each day will look different, especially if you have kids. Just be willing to be flexible and I promise you that resting will become apart your day.

Also if you ever want to chat just message us or email us. And a hashtag #restintoday #Growingwomenoffaith

Special end of the year edition!!!  

Has your year looked differently than you had planned? 

I am guessing yes!  I am guessing everyone has experienced some change in some way, whether it is good or bad. 

The same is true for us!  Sherry and I have seen God work in our own lives.  Plans have been changed but we have grown so much through it.

Verses Referred:  Luke 15:4 and Matthew 6:34

As a momma I think about what Mary faced in light of making the choice to trust in God. She faced so many trails that I cant even begin to imagine. But yet still trusted God through everything he did.  What if you allowed God to lead you in your life just as Mary allowed God to lead her?  What would your life look like right now?  Would you be where you are right now?  

Verses for reference:

Luke 1:28-55 and Proverbs 3:3-5

What is keeping you from having quiet time?  

Lets take a look at what could be stopping you from being silent in a world of demand.  "Quiet time" looks different for everyone because we are all different and its finding out what is best for you.  

Verses: Psalms 46:10, Exodus 14:14, Job 33:33, Psalms 37:7, Romans 13:11-14

Quote by: David Jeremiah

Inga Lizdenyte was born in Vilnius, Lithuania.  At the young age of 22 Inga was faced with the crossroads of her destiny, she decided to fight for her life. She firmly believed that with God’s help she could reclaim her independence and was ready to work relentlessly to achieve her vision. Going against the circumstances and opinions of others, she aimed for goals that seemed beyond her grasp. Local prosthetic specialists tried to convince her that she would never be able to walk with artificial legs because of her physical condition it would be impossible. But she told them that she WOULD walk and would even dance, and they would see it. In spite of much advice – to come to terms with a “disabled lifestyle” – she researched online about prosthetic legs worldwide, emailing prosthetic companies. This way, the Lord connects her with an American prosthetic specialist, who believed that her dream was possible and decided to help her. He invited her to come to California, USA and made artificial legs for her as a donation.  

After hard and relentless work, Inga fulfilled her vow. I walked and danced, just as I said I would.

Since 2005 Inga has been living independently in California. She is self-sufficient in spite of her physical limitations, work, travel, and build relationships, all the while helping others. For 13 years she worked as the Public Relations & Volunteer Coordinator at Disability Services & Legal Center (DSLC).  Now her mission is to share a message of hope and help others. Today she is a Keynote Speaker on Inspiration, Empowerment, and Christian faith.  Certified Life Coach, and Author of the book “UNSTOPPABLE. It’s a Choice”.  Inga mission is to inspire others with her story, share the message of inspiration and faith,  and empower individuals to persevere, overcome, and achieve.

Verse Refences: Hebrews 11:1 and Deuteronomy 8.

Summary:

We make the choice in how we are going to live every day. We don’t have control in the things

that are going on around us, but we do have a say in our emotions and how we respond to

those things. I choose joy, I choose positivity, I choose to live my best life despite the troubles

and trails that come my way. In this podcast I hope to encourage you to live joyously, to have

fun, to live your best life right now. This is not easily done you have to constantly choose joy,

choose positivity, and most importantly choose God. With God’s help I do believe that you can

do this, that you can have the life He intends for you to have.

Sherry shares about being Uniquely Fashioned in the season(s) where God has you.   God has purposed your past journey, your present for right now, right where you are, and the right time. He always has your future purposed for you. Through your journey(s) that God has you on he is developing the women of God you are and giving you the tools so that you can glorify him in all that you do. 

Bible References:  Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 & Ephesians 2:10

Is there anything you would change?

What are some regrets?

What are your victories you have been through?
