A life greater than Oneself #sacrifice 41:06

What are some sacrifices you have made? Big or small , let me ask you this question- did it require you to live a life greater than yourself and you saw your life begin to flourish? I'm finding lately that when God ask me to sacrifice something it requires me to truly trust. Trust and Sacrifice go hand in hand. You can't see your life flourish by leaving one of those behind. In this episode I get my preach on , and well you will have to hear it for yourself but Ps 118:8 says It is better to refuge in the LORD, then to trust what any man can offer.…

What do you believe? About God? About yourself? Your family? Your bank account? I am finding more and more that what I believe is not just what I think about , talk about, but it is actually the direction my life begins to move towards. Good or Bad! It matters what you believe. To believe is to have an attitude that is confident towards someone or something. I've been doing a fast ( don't know what that means it's all good- find out in this episode). In doing a fast it can be hard on your flesh but drives you deeper into prayer ( hopefully and not into madness of eating a whole box of cookies) so you can hear God voice more clearly for your future.…

How do you fight battles that come your way. What is your battle stance? I would like to tell you I do it right all the time I am faced with hard things, opposition, heartaches, test, trials, battle after battle but I am human just like you. What I can tell you is this- Each battle we face there is a fight. We should fight in these battles until completion, until we hear well done good and faithful. Any battle I have faced in my life ( especially in the last 6 weeks) it has required a new level of faith within me and a new kind of fight. Each time God's faithfulness has come through as I have fought and seen the victory in each battle. To God be all the Glory!!!…

God radically transformed her life from the inside out, and she wants to help other women conquer the same battles that she has faced with food, exercise, and body image, so they too can become physically AND spiritually healthy – the key to living fully and abundantly.

Being a mom is one of the most greatest gifts and opportunities we have in this lifetime and I can't wait for you to hear about it on this episode.…
