Keep Your Eyes Forward: How Gratitude Pulls You Out of the Past
from Designed to Win : Ripple to Wave · host Dara Leigh
Host Dara reflects on a conversation with guest Valerie Mukanga and uses a walk with her dog Butters—who keeps looking back at a cat—to illustrate how past hurts and triggers can derail our forward motion. She shares a practical, faith-centered remedy: daily thankfulness. Dara describes keeping a gratitude journal and a monthly “grateful” sticky-note board to keep God at the center and prevent looking back. The episode offers encouragement and a simple challenge: cultivate gratefulness to stay focused on where God is leading you. #FaithForward #GratitudeJournal #DailyGratitude #ThankfulHeart #FaithOverFear #ChristianLiving #HealingJourney #LetGoAndLetGod #MovingForward #TrustGod #AttitudeOfGratitude #PurposeDriven #StayFocused #ChristianPodcast #YouTubeMinistry
