31. How To Find Beauty in Your Limitations with Sara Hagerty

Have you ever felt stretched to your limits or frustrated by your limits? Maybe you really wish they didn't exist or you could make them magically go away! If you find yourself there, today's episode is for you!   I am joined today by Sara Hagerty. Sara is a bestselling author, speaker, wife and homeschooling mother of 7 - four adopted from Africa and three through surprise miracle pregnancies.   Sara says she "has found significance of words whispered in hidden places as conversation with God and worship to God as well as written in tearful honesty and shared with her readers". She has walked through hard seasons of infertility and faced significant health struggles which have revealed her physical and mental limitations, opening the door for the Lord to meet her there with tenderness, compassion and His strengths.   Today, we discuss her newest book, The Gift Of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries, and talk through questions like "What if your greatest weaknesses - the areas of your life you resent the most, the places where you feel the most overextended and unfulfilled - are your doorway to rich intimacy with God? " What if your limitations were, in fact, your greatest gift?" Sara has seen, firsthand, how the boundaries of our life circumstances can bring about growth and satisfaction we would never experience otherwise. So grab a notebook & pen (you'll definitely want to jot these practical truths down) and join me as we learn to name our limitations and see them as beautiful weaknesses drawing us closer to the Lord, slowing down the cadence of life and ultimately creating a heart that is truly at rest in the Father.   For more information on Sara and her books, please visit https://sarahagerty.net/
