Do you need to forgive someone?
12/21/20 • 11 min
As I sit remembering the reason for this holiday season and also thinking about how tough our current year has been, I am still so truly grateful to have yet one more opportunity to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Because no matter what...we all have a lot to be thankful for. We’ve also been given quite a bit of time this year to reflect, refocus, and recognize what’s truly important...and what’s not important at all. This is also one of the reasons why today, I want to ask you the following two questions: 1) Do you need to forgive someone? 2) If the person you need to forgive passed away today, would you be able to live with that? In this episode, I’ll be sharing about my own past struggles with forgiveness, along with three things you can do to begin forgiving others as soon as possible.

Suffering in Silence, Mentally and Emotionally
So, my question for you today is...are you suffering in silence, mentally and emotionally? There is no doubt that many, many people are suffering in silence because of our unfortunate pandemic, but I’m also asking this question because for years, I suffered in silence on such a private level that not even my husband, the rest of my family, or my dearest friends had any idea I was feeling the way I was. Why? Because I was very good about smiling and saying how fine I was. Can you relate? Has this been your story for a while? In this episode, I’ll be sharing my own personal experience, as well as three things you can begin doing now to become better.

Discovering Your True Purpose
There is no denying that 2020 has been one of the toughest and most trying years you and I have ever experienced. But what I also know is that God is still God, and that I will continue to trust Him and keep my faith strong through all of it. I’m doing this because as much as it may not seem like it right now...this too shall pass. Things will get better and when they do...we need to be ready. Which means it is now time, more than ever before, to ask yourself if you truly and wholeheartedly know your purpose. Because if you do, then it’s time for you to fully begin walking in it, and if you don’t...it’s time for you to make discovering it one of your top priorities in 2021. In today’s episode, I share how it was many years before I truly knew what my own purpose was, how I finally discovered it...and how you can, too.
