It's me, Sam.

Lots of rambling. Resolution check-in. And then these quotes steal the show:

•

"The path to greater things begins with surrender and sacrifice."

"Those that God uses the most hold onto the least."

•

I wanted to write these out for you just in case you wanted to get them in tattoo or have your grandma embroider one of them on a pillow for you. Have her do one for me while she's at it. Thanks so much for listening.

I'm here! I'm back! My family survived Noro virus 2019 and we're stronger for it. This episode is about why I prefer puking, a special shout-out to foster parents (especially all my single foster mommas✊), and an encouragement to find your space to be your authentic self. ALSO, how could no one tell me that I've been spelling 'forty' wrong for SIX episodes?! I'm so disappointed in myself. I'll be correcting it immediately, which means that you'll be getting notifications of seven new episodes...all at once. You're welcome. That is if you're subscribed. And if you're not, see what you're missing out on?! You should definitely subscribe! Thanks for listening. I love ya'all more than fixing spelling mistakes.

Let's start talking more to break down the stigma and shame often times associated with mental health in the church community. I had a panic attack in church, so I'm clearly doing my part to break down barriers. 😂🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Enjoy listening and contact me any time. Love ya'all more than not setting my alarm on Saturdays.

In this episode, I'm challenging you to stick to your goals, dreams, and plans. Choose consistency and discipline. And if you need to, shout at the devil and claim the power of Jesus. Thank you so much for listening. I love ya'all more than bacon.

Listen to my newest episode and discover more great content from my channel!

if you're listening to this episode it's important for you to know that I love and care about you so much. I haven't posted a new episode for a few weeks because I recorded this and even though I'm very passionate about the topic, it was difficult for me to commit to posting it. I'll be following this up very soon with a corrections episode to clarify a few mistakes that I made and also Jill will join me in that episode to share more detail about the specifics of God's plan for relationships and also how to recover and reset a relationship back to His plan. Please contact me with any questions or comments. [email protected]

God is faithful. With His grace, I have learned a few things from the dumb choices that I've made. I'm just passing on what I've learned and praying that even one person might be encouraged or challenged to do better than what I've done. I love ya'all more than my heated mattress pad (it's real cold here!❄). Thanks so much for listening.

I had an exciting encounter at Kroger last weekend that reminded me that we can help people without knowing all the details of their circumstances. In this season it's easy to get caught up in family traditions, delicious food, and making out our lists for Santy Claus. All good things, but I challenge you to open your eyes wide and look around for ways to serve other people. It's cliche, but I promise you, giving always feels better than receiving. I love ya'all more than carbs. Thanks so much for listening.

Send me a message and tell me about the first steps that you're taking towards accomplishing your goals. Can't wait to hear from you. Love ya'all more than a D.A.R.E jacket. Thanks for listening.

For this episode I want to encourage you to know that you're not the only one dealing with hard parenting moments. My son used to pee on his bedroom floor! Come on! We're all dealing with stuff! Let's talk about it and never believe that we're alone in our frustration, pain, sadness or disappointment. Parenting is hard. Even if you're posting picture-perfect posts on social media of your kids, please find your people who you can be honest with and get support for what's really going on in your home. I love ya'all more than fall foliage. Thanks for listening.
