Something to Bless

Part of creating the life you desire is your ability to decide to do so. If we could learn to be firm in our minds about what we will or will not accomplish, everything would be different. Many of us get caught up in the HOW instead of focusing on the WHAT, keeping ourselves stuck and frustrated. In today's episode, I'm reading a powerful article that teaches us how to  become a firm decision maker. Good stuff.

Barbara Guillen is a Freelance Copywriter and Content Creator. She is on a mission to help others live a life of meaning, purpose, and empowerment. In order to know who we are, we must first know WHOSE we are. When we are clear on our identity, we can achieve the unthinkable! 

If you are on a mission to live a better life by being the best version of you OR you want to know more about what GOD has to say about your life and your purpose, then this is your place. We’re keeping it really real around here about what it takes to live an intentional life full of meaning, purpose, and faith. We’re digging into God’s word so that we can be filled with the TRUTH and PROMISE that he has for each of us. Let’s get into it. 

Most people don't realize the power they truly have over their thought life. They also don't realize that a single thought can lead to their ultimate joy or pain. 

In this episode, I am offering suggestions for practicing having thoughts that work for us and not against us. Over time, this practice leads to new automatic thought patterns that are positive, productive, and powerful. While we're not robots, we have a lot more control over the thoughts we choose to allow space in our minds and spirits.

Many of us believe a life of wealth is beyond us. Before we can experience this reality, we must have an abundant mindset and embrace all that we already have. When we are filled with a spirit of gratitude and generosity, we naturally receive more.

Listen in to today's episode as I share the idea that we all have the same potential for financial abundance and prosperity. I am using a recently read book, The Having, as the basis for this conversation. 

The secret to greater wealth is actually very simple. It all lies in our mindset and belief.

So often, the desire for more money gets twisted. Real twisted. Listen to today's episode as I share what it looks and feels like to be financially wealthy. 

The more money we have, the more we get to enjoy life and be generous to others. God has called us to be fruitful and multiply in everything that we do- this includes our money. Let's be rich together! There is an abundance of wealth and it is for all of us.

Most people automatically connect the word 'rich' with financial wealth. In today's episode, I am breaking down the real meaning of what it means to be rich IMO. 

As just about any rich person will tell you, without love, joy, and peace , money doesn't mean much. Let's all work harder to create a life of true abundance as we also build our financial wealth.

Join me for a powerful conversation with author and speaker Jordan Raynor about what the real meaning behind our work is, according to God's word. Jordan shares the biblically stated truth that the work we all do matters for eternity. He also shares the inspiration and hope for his newest children's book, The Creator in You. 

No matter what job you have in life (excluding sinful jobs) there is great meaning and purpose. When we can view our work from God's perspective, everything shifts and is made so much better.

In this episode, I share my experience after learning that my husband of over twenty years was a drug addict. My sole mission became to protect and shield my children from the ugliness that addiction brings with it. I filed for divorce and a court order to have him removed from the home. It was one of the toughest things I've ever had to do. 

To families of addicts: Hold on to hope. By the grace of God, my husband found recovery and now uses his experience to encourage and support others in addiction.

There are support groups for families of addicts, such as Al Anon and Nar Anon who will support and guide you during this painful journey. 

The verse that I held on to during this time was Philippians 4:6-7

For thirty years, my husband struggled with drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. After silently dealing with war-related PTSD for several years and medically retiring from his job in law enforcement in 2015, his drug use hit an all time high. 

Unable to slow down his drug use, his life quickly spiraled downward until he nearly lost his family, hope, and life itself. 

By the grace of God, he survived the battle and today, he shares his story with us. 

If you or someone you love is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, there is help. To list a few, you can reach out to N.A, A.A, and Celebrate Recovery in your area. You can also reach out to local church pastors. Find your people and do not give up hope!

The next time you have to make a u turn back home because you forgot something, be grateful it wasn't a 20 hour u turn like mine!

Ten hours into a 33 hour drive, my daughter informed me that her move in date was actually a few weeks later!

Instead of letting her have it for not communicating properly regarding this BIG move, I decided we were going to make a fun adventure out of the mishap and that's exactly what we did! 

Tune in as I share all about the lessons and reflections of this brief road trip. 

Lesson: Make the absolute best out of any situation gone wrong. When you do, things will always work out.
