Maybe your dating prep looks a lot like prayer, Bible study and cultivating deep friendships.

And maybe it looks a lot like re-runs of A Cinderalla story, Pinterest marathons and time spent crafting “The List”.

You are totally able to live a life of purpose and intention now. You are so able to cultivate a deep and intimate relationship with God, so that your life is poured out for Him and positioned by Him for whatever is in your future.

It is totally within your ability to set yourself up to flourish, to navigate life by design and not default. You are able to sow seeds of potential, right where you are, whether life looks or feels how you want.

So, if dating is something you want to be ready for, here are some things that will help you..

Enjoy today's episode xo

Welcome to this episode: Let’s Talk About: Pursuing your dreams, God’s way

We're joined by Anneka Wallington, an entrepreneur and founder of Recognised – a brand that brings together amazing causes with beautiful products to help raise awareness of some of the biggest issues we face today.

And we’re hoping that this conversation, will be full of depth and encouragement for your soul.

Join us as we cover:

>> What does a God dream look like? Does it come all at once or in part?

>> Talk us through your experience of pursuing a God dream. Where did you start? How did you know what to do?

>> How do we dream big with God for our future, without it becoming all about us?

>> As a businesswoman, how do you balance ambition and vision with faith and surrender?

>> What’s the difference between pursuing your dreams God’s way and your way?

>> What are some signs that you’re in the centre of God’s will for your life?

>> What are some warning signals that you’re maybe taking things into your own hands and veering a little off course?

Tell me, have you ever felt discouraged?

Ever had a dream delayed, a fruitless day, disappointing news?

Have you ever just got so fed up of waiting for your situation to turnaround, for your dreams to come to pass, for your prayers to be answered?

Oh my, you are not alone. Life can be really hard.

Sometimes I really struggle to keep the faith, to keep momentum, to keep hoping over all of the hurdles. Sometimes I have wondered, “what is the point?”

I want to encourage you – you’re not the only one who gets discouraged, you’re not alone in feeling this way. And I want to share a few simple things you can do when your heart and soul are struggling...

Welcome to life lately! A chance to talk real life, with remarkable women.

I don’t know about you, but I feel so refreshed when I hear other people’s stories. When we open up about our challenges and wins, it’s liberating. Suddenly you don’t feel alone, you feel seen, you feel heard, and understood.

We want this forum to be a place where we talk life; how we’re doing, what God is saying, what’s hard, what’s helpful. And I hope, wherever you are, you feel encouraged and connected.

So, girls. Welcome and welcome to my conversation with Dr Isang Awah. Isang is a remarkable woman – a wife of 26 years, mum of four and she works at the University of Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention where she is part of the Accelerating Achievement for Africa’s Adolescents Hub.

I know you’re going to be encouraged by the gold in her heart and life as we talk faith, disappointment, challenge and going deeper with God no matter what.

Enjoy! xo

Can you think of a time in your life where you felt really stretched?

A time where transition, more responsibility, a different routine or life rhythm made you feel out of your comfort zone and a little overwhelmed?

We have all been there. The landscape of life is uncertain and full of unknowns with lots of opportunities to grow, thrive and become all the God has created you to be.

And if we are going to live out the destiny that God has created for us to do, we are going to have to learn to embrace the stretch of life, so that our capacity- in every season grows and expands.

In this episode, we're sharing 5 thoughts on growing your capacity!
