God’s Will: Why We Resist It and How to Embrace His Plan for Your Life
Hi guys! I am so happy to be back today to discuss an interesting topic: Why do we resist God’s will even when we know His plan is better than ours? In this episode, I talk about the daily struggles between our will and God’s, especially in motherhood, through the spirituality of St. Thérèse. We’ll talk about distraction, the pull of the secular world, and the grace that comes when we finally surrender to what God wants. And most importantly, we talk about how to obtain true joy in your life!Other Links & Freebies:Free Daily Rhythm TemplateFollow along: @thelittlewayhomeContact: [email protected]Free Chore & Virtue GuideFree ABC Flashcards
