Today, I take a look from little child to grown-up in one of the hardest, yes messiest things: Waiting.

Listen in If you:

• Are waiting for something ;)
• Need perspective on what waiting really means.
• Need to hear again what is most important.
• Want to remember face-to-face with God is our great prize
• Are seeking to navigate deep pain, like grief
• Have hardness in your heart from unfulfilled expectations

I trust you will be encouraged and touched by hope as you wait because you have spent a few minutes at the ML ML podcast :-)

Welcome Friend! 

Today I talk about the messy ways of questions, how I learned to ask them, and all they have brought to me in the process.

Listen in if you:

• have struggled to ask questions of God
• have struggled NOT to ask questions of God
• wonder what His silence in questions is all about
• long to grow in understanding who God is
• long to grow in authentic relationship with God
• long to grow in your intimacy with God

May you be both challenged and encouraged through today's episode!

In this episode I talk about a recent series of 'messy yeses' and where they led me. I am so thankful for the gift they brought and I want to invite you into the joy of living, yes, you guessed it, in the mess.

Listen in:

• if you have ever been in a situation you feel ill-equipped for
• if you want to receive encouragement in how to live your life
• if you know you are a mess and think that disqualifies you
• if you struggle to see Jesus in everyday life
• if you want to pray for me and the women I met and talk about here

May you know beautiful messy yeses today and always,

In this episode I talk about how happy things can and do become sad things and what do we do with this mess? It's a gritty way to walk, but, in sharing my story, I want you to know that you're not alone.

Listen in if you:

• need to know you are not alone in your grief
• struggle to know how to grieve
• wonder why grief is important
• want to know if God cares about you and your grief
• would like to receive encouragement in the process of your grief
• want to be able to offer hope to someone who is grieving

I pray these will be minutes well spent and your takeaways are valuable.

Today, I talk about our true heart's desires for our own lives and our world. These days have challenged that greatly, yet our desires remain. Because we are made for them.

Listen in:

• If you've wondered if you'll ever experience your heart's desire.
• If these days are messing with your faith.
• If you aren't sure what your heart's desire is.
• If you want to hear some thoughts from God on the matter.
• If you long for Heaven.

I trust you would consider this time well spent as we look together at the desires we are made for...

Today, I have the distinct honor of sharing an interview with Author Molly Huffman whose book, 'The Moon is Round: A True Story of Extraordinary Loss, Grief and the Fight for Faith' just released this week. Her story will challenge, inspire and bring tremendous hope. 

Listen in if you:

• Have ever felt like you are alone in your pain
• Have ever felt like you couldn't take one more thing
• Have ever felt like your pain is wasted
• Have ever felt like walking away from God because of your grief
• Love a good story of faith

I am so blessed to share Molly with you today. Only God can write such a beautiful story and we give all glory to Him for Molly's life and her courage to share it. Trust you are blessed!

Today's podcast is inspired by the series 'the Chosen' (google play app link, also can be found for IPhone) that my family and I just finished watching. We were so captivated by it, it's made us feel closer to Jesus and all he did on earth, ultimately, dying for us and this whole broken world.

Listen in if you:

• hunger to feel closer to Jesus
• have been struggling with ungratefulness
• feel many worries in these days
• want to remember why you need Jesus' strength
• have forgotten that He truly sees you

I trust that today's episode will bless and encourage you. Jesus truly does understand ALL of the struggles of our lives, and He is so ready to meet us in them!

How are you friend? These days are trying, aren't they? Do you wonder if there can be any blessing in them, or what those blessings might be? I have some thoughts and share them with you on this podcast.

Listen in if you:

• cannot take another moment of quarantine.
• feel like you're alone in how to do this season of life.
• don't want to hear a 4-step process, nice and tidy.
• have hope that maybe there is a rainbow of promise in this.

I trust your time spent with this podcast will be time well spent!

Today, I had the great privilege of having my twin sister, Sara on the podcast! We bantered a bit about the messiness of it and hopefully said some encouraging things about being twins!

Listen in if you:

• Are a twin or know a twin (so basically everyone should listen in)
• Have ever doubted how uniquely you are made
• Have ever wondered what it would be like to be a twin
• Just want to be reminded of how our messy lives show God's mighty love

So blessed to have you join in today!
