As I was walking with Jesus this morning, I was thinking about how differently people tend to react to unpleasant circumstances and wondering exactly what does make the difference in our responses. I found the answer in a neighbors front yard . . . it’s ROOTS!  Are you firmly planted today in your faith today? 

Stumbling-blocks are not about right and wrong. It’s about focusing less on what we have the “right to do” and more on what we “can choose to do” to strengthen and encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ. What is that “thing” that you might be doing or saying that could cause someone else to stumble?

Hey friends! Thanks for hopping on my podcast today. Walking with Jesus is so much more fun when you come along!  Don't forget to share with others and follow me on your favorite listening platform.  

One of the best things about walking with Jesus is knowing that no matter how difficult our circumstances may be from time to time, we can always find peace in knowing that the joy of the Lord is our strength. I choose joy! I hope you will too!

Over the past couple of years, I have been going out to walk each day and coming in when I reach my goal. Honestly, it's so routine, I haven’t really put much thought into the simple act of coming in and going out- until today. Join me today, as we talk about the Old Testament concept of going out and coming in to the powerful, presence of God through worship. 

Did you look up one day and realize that your children had grown up and started this thing call "adulting" and you had no idea when it happened or how to navigate through this phase of their life? Join me today as I share my "Mama Heart" with you. You are not alone! 

Hey friends- thanks for joining me as we walk and talk with Jesus today! I used to believe that it was possible to “fake it till you make it”- and maybe that's true for some things in life, but when it comes to our walk with Christ, let's get real. It's not about pretending that we always say and do the rights things all of the time- it's about admitting that we are all sinners and need a Savior.  

I once heard someone say, “If you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans!” Proverbs 16:9 says, "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps". In other words, if you think you have it all figured out, don't be surprised if God doesn't come along and start recalculating!
