Are you looking forward or backward?  Our past mistakes can haunt us and make us dislike ourselves. Our husband's past mistakes can keep us looking at him through the lens of the past. Unforgiveness can eat away at us from the inside out. The past is the past. Leave it there and look toward what God is doing now and in your future. 

Scriptures cited: Philippians 3:13-15, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Isaiah 43:25

I often get frustrated when my ideals aren't my reality. I try harder and harder to make them happen.  I don't like letting go of "my" plans.  But this creates frustration and disappointment. My plans and ideals are good. Why should I have to let them go?  To get free.  Letting go of "my" plans and ideals in favor of God's vision and plans, is freeing! His are better anyway. 

Scriptures: Proverbs 19:21, Isaiah 55:8-9, Mark 8:33

Why do we complain?  Is it helpful or does it hold us back?  Be empowered by embracing gratitude and joy instead!

This is a short two minute bonus episode to share the real life story of me overcoming self-doubt after writing the episode on Letting Go of Self-Doubt. 

We sometimes doubt our own abilities for success which can hold us back and make us give up.  But our confidence is in God, not ourselves. I struggle with this issue myself. Join me as we look at it a new way.   

Main verse: Philippians 4:13

Do you feel weighed down and exhausted? You want to soar through life, but how?   What are the things that are holding us down that we could let go of in order to soar on Eagle's Wings?  Join me for the intro to a whole series on "Letting Go...to Soar!" It's time to get your wings and fly! Guiding verses: Isaiah 40:31 and Hebrews 12:1-2

What do you DO during the Waiting Place?  It's hard to sit and do nothing. This episode discusses what to do and what NOT to do.

Often we find ourselves in "The Waiting Place" (term borrowed from Dr. Seuss.)  We are waiting for God to act or something to change. It's a frustrating place to be. So how do we get through that time? Join me as I continue the story of our infertility and adoption.

Sometimes life hands us huge disappointments that we don't know how to handle. In this episode, I outline three steps to overcoming those big disappointments in life.

When life hits hard and you don't know where to turn or what to do, start with praising God and see what happens!  (Enjoy my dog, Bingley, "praising" at the end! LOL)
