Hey sister,

What is happening in this season of your life? For many of us – if not most of us in this messy middle, it’s a time that comes with transitions, changes, losses, limitations, lots of reflection – and questions without easy answers.

In 2 Corinthians chapter 12 Paul reveals that he struggled with something in his life that he called a thorn in his flesh – in other words, it affected his real, every day, flesh and blood life. He asked God three times to remove the thorn – I can relate to that! I mean, who doesn’t want to escape the pain that comes with thorns?

How about you, sister? Is there a thorn that is causing you pain right now? Something in your everyday life that you’re struggling with, that’s keeping you stuck or making it difficult to move forward toward what you believe is God's purpose for you in this season?

God had an answer for Paul’s thorn, and He has an answer for the thorns in our lives too. Spoiler alert -- The answer is grace. But wait! Before you think you know all about grace or that this is some kind of impractical answer that doesn’t meet you in the nitty gritty of what you’re dealing with – join me in this episode as we get deep into the REAL meaning of grace. We’re going to realize the reality of God’s abundant grace in us, the all-providing power that overcomes every thorn.

Joy to you!

Hey Sister,

In Episode 012 we uncovered the first three (not-so-secret) secrets for receiving and recognizing God’s guidance. In this episode we are continuing the conversation with four additional secrets. So much of our power and peace comes from knowing where God wants us to walk and what God wants us to do – in our every day. When we have God’s guidance, we know where he wants us to be, and we can be there with confidence! Not only that, if we are precisely where our heavenly Father wants us to be, we can be absolutely sure that he will provide for all our needs in the place he has directed us.

I hate to admit how many times in my life I did not seek God’s guidance with my whole heart and how many other times I would run ahead of God’s guidance, pushing to make things happen the way I thought was best. It wasn’t until I got to a place in my life where God was able to open my eyes to the damage I had done by not seeking his guidance that things changed in my experience. I also realized that I did not truly know HOW to receive and recognize God’s guidance, so that set me on the journey to discovering the secrets I’m sharing with you.

If you want to follow God’s guidance for your life but aren’t sure how... or if you’ve tried yet feel like something is missing because you aren’t receiving or recognizing God’s direction, join me for today’s episode as we reveal more of the not-so-secret secrets of God’s guidance!

For wholeness and holiness in Jesus,

Angie

Hey Sister,

Would you like to receive clear guidance from God? In the Bible we see all the ways God provided guidance to his people: he sent angelsl, gave visions, created pillars of cloud and fire – one time he even made a donkey talk! God’s direction in the Bible seems so big and obvious, so unmistakable. Do you ever ask yourself, “Why does it seem so foggy for me? What am I doing wrong that I don’t receive – or at least I don’t understand – God’s guidance??”

Some of us think we’re not smart enough to understand. Like maybe God is trying to guide us, but we just don’t get it. Others of us even think God tries to make it difficult for us, like some kind of unfair game – that he’s somehow hiding his will from us until we “figure it out.” But Sister, the good news is that God does not want to hide his guidance from us. In fact, he wants to make his will plain for us to discern and follow! In James 1:5 we are told, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” That’s a pretty clear promise! God is generous and desires to give us the wisdom of his guidance!

If you’re ready to receive and understand God’s direction for decision-making, in times of change or crisis, and in your everyday – join me today for this first episode in a series as we discover and uncover the (not-so-secret) Secrets of God’s Guidance.

For wholeness and holiness in Jesus,

Angie
