Leap of Faith & Prayer...

I pray you know just how amazing you truly are!
This episode is about Leap of Faith & Prayer..
It's also about losing my mom & the next phase of my life.
Remembering that God is always present.

Psalm 91:15:
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

Prayer changes things & prayer gives us peace,
because God knows our hearts & our souls.  Peace Be Still - BJ Carpenter

Psalm 94:14:
Lord, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me,
and give me renewed hope and cheer.

No matter what you may be going through, let God comfort you & bring
you His Peace.  Call on God.  Prayer changes everything: It changes the one who
prays and it changes the one prayed for.

I pray you that as you listen to my podcast you are lead to God,
and you are reminded that you are amazing, strong, powerful, simply
unique and so much more.  YOU are Wonderful!

Where has the time gone? It’s been a full year since I pressed the button and launched my Leap of Faith podcast! 🙌🏽 I am beyond grateful to God for this journey and for each of you who have listened, shared, and been a part of this walk of faith.

In this special episode, I’m opening my heart to share my personal journey as a caregiver for my mom. This experience has been filled with lessons, challenges, and blessings, and I want to encourage all the caregivers out there—those caring for parents, children, loved ones, and those in need. 💙

Key Takeaways:
🌸 Caregiving is a Calling & a Gift – Whether you’re caring for a parent, child, or loved one, your role is valuable, and your heart for serving others is seen and appreciated.

🌸 Ask Questions & Take Notes – Keep track of important medical details, medications, and care routines. Writing things down or recording messages can help you stay organized and advocate for your loved one.

🌸 Lean on God & Accept Support – God will send unexpected people to uplift you on this journey. Don’t be afraid to receive help, and know that He is walking with you every step of the way.

🌸 Hospice & Home Care Lessons – If offered a hospital bed for home care, take it! It makes a world of difference. Understanding hospice levels and DNR/DNI decisions can help you make informed choices for your loved one’s comfort.

🌸 You Are Not Alone – Caregiving is physically, emotionally, and spiritually demanding, but remember—God has equipped you for this moment. Stay encouraged, and know that you are doing an incredible job!

If you are a caregiver, know that you are seen, appreciated, and valued. This episode is for you. I share insights on navigating this journey, the importance of asking questions, keeping notes, and most of all, trusting in God’s strength through it all. Caregiving is a labor of love, and you are never alone in this.

🙏🏽 God bless you and please know you are never alone.

🙏🏽 Psalm 23 reminds us of God’s unwavering presence:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness  for his name's sake.

Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

Let these words be a source of comfort and strength. 
May you find hope in knowing that God is walking this journey with you.

We never know just how much a kind word, a simple 'thank you,' or a heartfelt gesture can positively impact someone’s day. 💜

In this episode, I’m sharing a message that is so needed—the power of appreciation, love, and kindness. 
From my personal journey of caring for my mom to the moments where unexpected blessings showed up, I’ve seen firsthand how gratitude can transform lives.

I want you to know this: You are appreciated. You are loved. You are valued.

No matter what you’re facing today, I pray that you feel the presence of God’s love and the encouragement to keep going. Let’s be the light for others and remind the world that kindness still matters.

Key Takeaways:

🌺 A Simple 'Thank You' Can Go a Long Way – Expressing appreciation to those around us—nurses, doctors, caregivers, friends, family—can brighten someone’s day more than we realize.

🌺 Unexpected Blessings Are Always at Work – Even in difficult times, God is orchestrating moments that remind us we are exactly where we’re meant to be.

🌺 Take a Breath & Take Care of Yourself – Life gets overwhelming, but stepping back for even five minutes to pray, breathe, and reset can bring clarity and peace.

🌺 God is Moving, Even When You Can’t See It – No matter how uncertain things seem, trust that He is working behind the scenes for your good. Won’t He do it? YES, He will!

You Are Appreciated & Loved – Never forget how special & necessary you are.
You are amazing, strong, powerful, and wonderfully unique!

🌟 Psalm 91: God’s Protection Over Your Life! 🌟

Fear not, for the Lord is your refuge and fortress! In this powerful episode of Leap of Faith, I read Psalm 91, a scripture of divine protection, faith, and trust in God’s promises. When worry and fear try to creep in, remember who holds you in His hands. His angels are watching over you, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper! 🙌✨

🔥 Key Takeaways:
✅ The power of Psalm 91 in times of uncertainty
✅ How God’s protection is always surrounding you
✅ Overcoming fear and worry through faith
✅ Testimonies of God’s provision and guidance

📖 Psalm 91 – The Prayer of Protection:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

🙌 God is Your Refuge—You Are Never Alone!
No matter what you are facing, God’s love, grace, and protection cover you. There is nothing He cannot do! Keep Psalm 91 close to your heart and walk in faith, not fear.
