Piggybacking off the last episode of meditating with the Holy Spirit but now adding the element of using our imagination in prayer. In this episode, we will be using our imaginations to place ourselves in verses 1-3 of Psalm 23 as a way to spend time with the Lord and allowing Him to love on us. Enjoy <3

Another unplanned bonus episode to start the new year :) The topic of this episode is meditation. When we think of meditation, we might think of attempting to clear our minds and reach a higher version of ourselves or worshipping other gods, but that is not what God created it for. Meditation allows us to be in the present moment God gifted us with and bring Him into that moment to spend time with Him. Towards the end of the episode, I guide you through a short meditation led by the Holy Spirit. Talk to you guys on Saturday <3

Here are some links to Christian meditation music. Feel free to play these in the background during the meditation part of this episode or whenever you want to spend time with God :)

The Lord has been teaching me how to live in big faith, and this episode goes into depth about what that has been looking like. I hope my story encourages you to step out in faith, even through the unknown. I love you guys <3

Talking about how I quit my job this week. I couldn't have done this without the Lord. He is the one who guided my steps to take this leap of faith and will continue to guide me through the next steps. He is seriously the best. I'm so so thankful for this space and that I get to share my life so wholeheartedly with you all. I love you guys <3 and He does too.
