E41: TWO-WAY JOURNALING PART 2

E43: BECOME AWARE OF MY PRESENCE

In this episode I share about becoming more aware of God’s Presence. God is always with us, but it takes an intentionality to shift our awareness to this truth. God invites us to seek Him in everything—to create rhythms of stillness and habits of inviting Him into our everyday decisions. There is not a separation between the practical and spiritual aspects of our lives. Everything is integrated and God is always present. The more you intentionally seek an awareness of God’s Presence, the easier it will become and it will change the way you live your life.

E42: RECEIVE MY LOVE

In this episode I share an excerpt about joy and God’s love. We often look for love from other people but only God’s love is complete and sufficient for all we need. As we spend time intentionally shifting our awareness to God and receiving His love, it starts to heal and transform us into the original, pure version of ourselves. God is always with us, but sometimes we need to shift our perspective through joy and thanksgiving to recognize His love that is always available. And as we do this, it changes us. This is why God says to receive His love first for ourselves. As we receive, we can then share more freely and fully with the world around us.

E41: TWO-WAY JOURNALING PART 2

In this episode I have a special guest, Anna Chao, join me as we talk about hearing God through two-way journaling. Anna recently started two-way journaling as a way to tune in to God’s voice. She shares personal stories and a fresh perspective about how hearing from God can transform your life. We discuss some practical approaches and lessons we’ve learned in our own two-way journaling time with God, such as the importance of letting the conversation flow and not getting caught up in the exact word. Anna also emphasizes the importance of finding a quiet space. With so many “voices” always vying for our attention, it takes intentionality to make space for quiet in our lives. But, as Anna affirms, if you do that you will hear from God in one way or another. Check out my eCourse…Discovering the Ways God Is Speaking to You!

E40: I AM THE LIFE

In this episode I share an excerpt where God is reminding us to seek Him first. So often we desire the things of the world first and our lives get so full that we don’t leave room enough for God. But God desires connection to us, and He desires to give us wonderful gifts that are beyond what the world can give—things like peace, hope, wisdom, and love. Our relationship with God often becomes an afterthought, but He is reminding us that He is the life. When we live and do everything through God, it brings a depth to living that is beyond the physical aspects of life. Check out my eCourse…Discovering the Ways God Is Speaking to You!

E39: I AM IN CONTROL

In this episode I share an excerpt about trusting that God is in control. I personally struggle to fully grasp this truth that God is ultimately in control of all. There is mystery that is beyond our human understanding because we make choices every day and are impacted (often negatively) by the decisions of others. But God encourages us not to put our trust in circumstances and instead to go to Him for the help we need. This is why it is so helpful to learn how God is already speaking to you!

Yes, people can make their own choices, but my plans will come to be. I desire to use my children to fulfill the details of my plans and promises, but I am not reliant upon their obedience.
