You’re Not Behind — Trusting God’s Timeline 21:58

1 day ago21:58

21:58

Ever look around and feel like everyone else is lightyears ahead? They’ve got the dream house, the perfect vacations, the business that’s booming — and you’re just over here hoping nobody discovers your leftover spaghetti science experiment in the fridge. In this episode, I’m sharing why you’re not behind. Not in your story. Not in God’s. Not for one blessed second. We’ll talk about comparison, what Abraham & Sarah got wrong about God’s timing, and why Isaiah 55 keeps reminding me that His thoughts are higher and His ways are better. So grab your coffee (or sweet tea) and let’s dig into why you can trust God’s timeline — even when it feels painfully slow. Support the show…

Ever feel like your life’s a full-blown circus — junk drawers exploded, laundry half done, supper burning, and your brain chasing 47 tabs at once? Been there. (Yesterday, actually.) In this episode, I’m sharing all about finding REAL peace — not when life’s perfect, but right in the chaos. We’ll talk about why it never really “slows down,” how Jesus offers a peace that makes zero worldly sense, and what it looks like to trust Him when your circumstances are anything but calm. Grab a glass of tea or lemonade, come sit on the porch with me, and let’s learn how to breathe deep knowing He’s got us — mess and all. Support the show…

26:36

Ever felt like God is holding out on you? Like you’re stuck in the world’s longest waiting room while everyone else is out there living their best life? In this episode, we’re diving into those “not yet” seasons — the ones that feel like delay, disappointment, or even a straight-up divine “no.” We’ll talk about what it means to trust God’s timing (even when it makes zero sense), how to keep your heart anchored when your plans keep getting pushed out, and why some of the best things really do take time to grow. You’ll hear a few of my personal stories (yes, the ugly crying ones 😅), plenty of encouragement, and scriptures that have held me steady when I wanted to give up. So grab your coffee, plop down on the porch, and let’s talk about holding hope in the waiting. Because your story isn’t over yet — it’s just not time for the next chapter. Support the show…

Who is the Proverbs 31 woman and what defines her? This is a woman that has been a role model for hundreds of years. Some see it as old and outdated. But it applies to us today and everyday. The Proverbs 31 woman is a married woman, BUT the characteristics in this woman apply to every single person today. Woman's lives today are very hectic, complex, and many woman feel pulled in many different directions. This is a guideline that is so very powerful and tells us how to bring our lives to order and tell us what exactly we need to prioritize on a day to day bases.

(I am NOT knocking SAHMs, You guys are ROCKSTARS!) -not an obsessed career woman She is both! She is a woman of balance that takes care of her family but also is a go getter. She is smart, capable, a can do girl, Not afraid to do things on her own. Independent. She believes she has a purpose in life. She knows that she was put on this earth to serve a specific purpose and a plan for her life. The Proverbs 31 woman strives to live out her purpose and doesn't allow others to tell her who she is, what she is supposed to do, or wait for others to define her.

Do you ever have a whole list of things to do for the day and at the end of the day, you ask yourself, What in the world did I do today? HAHA That's the story of my life.
