The famous verse: Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you,â declares the LORD, âplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." But I realized that we forget to mention the Lord's discipline as we read this verse. So know that our Father means well when there is a consequence for our action.

I love what the word of God says, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."Â (Ecclesiastes 3:1). We are constantly trying to balance our life whether it's work, motherhood, business, etc but the reality is that God call us to different priorities in different seasons. So the next time you feel like you're all over the place, give yourself grace because you cannot do it all alone...tune in to hear my experience on trying to obtain "balance"--hope this encourages you!

This is a heavy yet victorious episode for me--for many reasons--but more so to share the goodness of God and how God made me whole again. All glory to God.

"To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the great human achievement." - St. Augustine.
Love is not a feeling, it is choice. You can choose to love every single day and the greatest commandment is to LOVE God above all else. Once you've mastered this, you can love yourself and your neighbor (spouse, parent, sibling, etc) just as Christ loves you. We pray you choose to love God before anything and anyone so you can experience His overwhelming and unconditional love.
JOURNAL PROMPT: Write down affirmations inspired by Scripture: (ex. I am loved, I choose to love GOD everyday, ____ will love God will all my body, heart, and soul...) and repeat them to yourself so you can believe it.

This episode is a perfect example of giving yourself grace when you mess up and not allowing it to bring you down. Instead, allow God to rebuild what He already gave you and start replacing unhealthy habits for fulfilling and wholistic habits! I've decided to rebrand but more so change the title of the podcast because this was the first WORD God placed in my heart but I didn't obey and felt convicted--so I pray that you learn from me! Anyways, hope this inspires you in some way!Â
