Jennifer Dukes Lee on happiness, boundaries, and having it all under control

In this episode we discuss: Why and how to make a list of core boundaries for your everyday life. Is there a difference between happiness and being joyful as a Christian? How to consult with God about what to do every day. Practical tools to help you give up control daily.   Favorite quotes- Scientifically we were made to be happy and by our creator, we are created for happiness God empowered us to do more, so I was like, "Lord what does it look like for me to let go of what I am not supposed to be hanging on to, to hang on tighter to those things you have really called me to do, and find this inner peace I once had in you, Lord that I forgot was even possible."  Because I am a list maker I use to put God at the top of the list which sounds like a neat thing to do because I would do my little quiet time and put an X in the box but then what I saw happening was God became an item on my todo list instead of him being involved in all areas of my life, what I have been trying to do  is instead of making him an item on the list, I am asking for His instead of giving him mine. We have to use our tools to change our lives.   Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business.   In this episode, I answer these questions- What did you do for birthday parties when your kids were little? Birthday parties stress me out. (44:32) What do you do when you don’t want to do what God tells you to do? (48:39) How do I know when it’s time to hire employees? I just started my small business and want to make a plan.
