Refreshing The Soul

Sometimes our tears can cloud the truth that the thing you're facing is only for a season, that it doesn't end here, and that God can restore your joy. This week we're encouraging those who have been discouraged for a while. They have been weeping silently but showing up with a smile. Let's get to the root of our hope and how God can turn our mourning into joyful dancing!

“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ In this life, there are some dark and valley places we will have to walk through. The work is in believing you’re not alone and that you’re safe when you’re there. This week’s episode is to encourage you to keep trusting the God of your Protection and Peace🙏🏾

Binge-worthy Netflix episodes. Kids needing help with homework. Texts from friends. Clients calling your phone. Dinner must be cooked. House must be cleaned. We can be so used to things pulling for our attention, that we don’t realize it can become the noise we look for to fill silent places. Do you distract yourself or feel discouraged when life or God seems too silent? God’s PEACE is the soundness and oneness that your soul need. Let’s talk about it in 🎙“Peace in the Silence!”

What do you consider "peace"? Do you see yourself sitting by a quiet ocean taking in its beauty to be peace? Or perhaps a day of accomplishing all of your work with no hiccups or distractions? When peace is found in the condition of your situation and not your soul, it's not peace sis...it's a temporary fix to a temporary situation. God's peace is everlasting, surpasses all understanding, and does not change with your situation. Let's grab ahold of this word today to discover how we can have peace in the soul!

Do you constantly deal with negative inner dialogue that you are not enough, you will fail or you’re not worthy? Shame is a place where we no longer see ourselves through God’s eyes but through the eyes of what we’ve done or didn’t do.

In this episode, Rachel has come to help us break shame off of us by reminding us that we MUST affirm ourselves from the time we wake up to the time we go to bed!

This journey with God is filled with unknowns and if we don't overcome the fear of what we don't know and what we can't see, we will not experience an abundant life of peace and will sabotage what God wants to give us by faith!

The more we grip God's hand and choose to trust His word, God will open our eyes to what HE SEES! There's more to you and your life than you can imagine or figure out on your own, so let's overcome the fear of the unknown together to discover it!

I will never forget the first time I experienced an anxiety attack when my husband was away in Iraq and I had my 3-year-old daughter and 6-month-old son.

When I look back at this dark time, I realize that I was never honest with MYSELF about the worries I felt pulled by. How can we be honest with God about the details of our life if we’re not willing to be honest with ourselves?

My beautiful sister, it's time to be honest with self. Just because this is where you are doesn’t mean you have to stay in this anxious place! I can honestly say today, I have MORE on my plate but have not experienced an anxiety attack since then!

Let’s hit the REFRESH button in our lives by diving into God’s Word and receive His medicine for anxiety!
