Welcome backkkk, girlfriend!!! Here’s Episode 5 and if you missed last week, I chatted with my childhood bestie's husband, Brandon, about his struggles as a veteran adapting to his family life. This week, I'm talking to Amanda Howard about finding your worth in God & NOT your relationships and there are SO many nuggets in here!
GAH--- just so good and I wish I could just spend forever with these two wonderful humans! They both are so easy to talk to and we get so many nuggets of the time we spend just chatting away together.
If you know the Howards, you are blessed. Their testimony is incredible and the best part is, it's not done yet. I can't wait to see how the Lord continues to move in them, through them, and for them.
THANK YOU for being a part of this two part series, y'all! It's been a blast!

Welcome backkkk, girlfriend!!! Here’s Episode 3 and Aryn Wang and I are back just chatting during nap time about how God has helped us to get through some really hard things as well as to feel confident in WHO we are through Him. **NOTE - I said Mark wrote Romans at one scripture share, but Paul wrote Romans and Mark wrote MARK to the Romans and I just quickly read my notes incorrectly! I won't pretend to be perfect, but I'm thankful that I'm taking action despite feeling unworthy at times and hope that this inspires you to do the same!**

In this episode:
Who is Aryn? Aryn is a wifey, boy mama, photographer, grad student, and an incredibly faithful daughter of a King. Aryn studied at Iris Harvest school of Missions under Heidi Baker in Mozambique, Africa. TALK ABOUT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! She and her husband have such a passion for the Lord, and it is so encouraging to be around them both. Aryn encourages others through her current fertility journey and she is the kind of friend you pray to have in your corner. Let's get into it!
MY PRAYER is that you feel like you're just another friend sitting around the dining room table chatting with us as you listen along. I PRAY THIS BLESSES YOU as I turn my mess into a message and help you to Inhale Jesus and Exhale Anxiety.
XOXO,
April
P.S. You're doing an amazing job, and you are CHOSEN, my love.
In this episode:
Who am I? I'm a 36 year old mama of 2 adorable girls, 3 and 6, and I LOVE my husband, Matt to pieces. He is a southern MS man through and through that I prayed for when I moved from PA to NC. He slowly put the broken pieces of me back together with daily "Good morning, beautiful" and "Good night, gorgeous" text messages in the beginning of our relationship. We have a sweet german shepherd rescue baby, Gracie and a hairless guinea pig named Snickers, but I prefer to call him Rat Face just to make my 6 year old lose her mind on me hahaha!
I have a house that's usually overflowing with laundry that needs folded and put away, sticky floors full of dog hair, and a house that exudes LOVE. SO MUCH LOVE lives here. I have learned how to find JOY in my daily mundane tasks and I want to share with you how I spend that time building my relationship with Jesus while blessing my family with loving tasks that I once used to be so ANGRY about.
MY GOAL is to teach you how to do the same. I PRAY THIS BLESSES YOU as I turn my mess into a message and help you to Inhale Jesus and Exhale Anxiety.
I'm writing out the positive affirmations I ended the show with in case you wanted to repeat these daily:
XOXO,
April
