Ever wanted a quick fix? No, probably not, right. Not you. You're totally a tortoise in the race. Just content with keeping your head down and eyes fixed ahead, without a care in the world about who might be passing you. Well, if that's really true for you, amazing!! You can skip this episode. But if you're like me on the other hand, and tend to struggle with being in a hurry for everything, then you might want to listen in.

I share a few anecdotes on slowing down, and how that has proved to move the needle in life faster than it would of if I'd forced a path that wasn't set for me.

I also reference Episode 6 on writing down your dreams. If you haven't listened to that one yet, and you're into goal planning and dream journaling, take a listen!

Have you ever thought twice about cutting something out? Maybe it's happened and you obeyed immediately. Or maybe you're like me and you needed several nudges before letting go. Well, in this episode I share a bit about my journey with letting go of Coffee! I'm not recommending everyone needs to cut coffee like I have, but I have a suspicion that there could be something that God might be asking you to let go of, caffeinated or not! Listen in and be encouraged that sometimes it takes letting go before we can truly Arise to amazing life God has in store for us!

Have you ever thought about homeschooling?! I didn't...until I did. Listen in as I share how God nudged my heart toward something I never thought I'd do. I share it this to encourage anyone who might be thinking about trying homeschooling, and aren't sure they can FULLY commit. One thing I know to be true is that when we Arise, amazing things happen and that was certainly the case for our family when we decided to say yes.

When We Arise

Mountains. They're massive. And sometimes really scary. When we walk by sight, that's all we see. Big, scary mountains. But if we walk by Faith we begin to see and know that God is with us every step of the way.

In this episode I share a true story of a mountain in my life, and how God rescued me from it.

I hope it encourages you in whatever you're facing to trust that He loves you and will walk with you up, down, or around every single step of the way.

Are you trying to be healthy? You want eat less junk right? Sleep more? Walk in nature? Spend more time in silence/prayer? Well, all of that is good, and good for us! But, what about this idea of creating not just a healthy habit, but a holy rhythm? See a rhythm has a flow to it, an end that is less defined. It just flows from one thing to the next. Less like a check mark, and more like a sound wave.

By adding reverence with a focus on the Lord to any healthy habit, we can create a holy rhythm. Because becoming more like Jesus ain't an easy feat. At least not for me! So, what healthy habits have you established already that could be tweaked and infused with some time with the Lord? I bet if you take a few minutes right now, and ask the Holy Spirit for a little help, he'll have plenty of ideas for you!

I'm excited to hear how you infuse your life with holy rhythms! Please reach out and share with me at whenwearise.com!

In a previous episode (Ep | 11) I was joined by my bestie Nat for a conversation about ironing sharpening iron in adult female friendships. I continue this series with two women who are best friends AND run an exciting new venture together! This is a sweet conversation with two amazing women, and we barely scratch the surface on all things relationships. I thoroughly enjoy gleaning wisdom from Wendi and Tricia and hope that you will too!

Okay, I had so much fun recounting this moment. While this is a beautiful story about God's goodness and kindness, I'm also careful about how I share it. It's not every day we hear the voice of God! In this episode I recount a very intimate and amazing moment I experienced before the birth of my daughter, who's about to turn 1!

If you enjoy a good birth story, you're in for a treat. Also, I hope this encourages you to run to God with your deepest yearnings. Nothing is too small, too selfish, too needy for Him. I truly believe He wants us to come to Him and ASK BOLDLY with confidence at His feet.
