Hello everyone! In this episode, I talk about my recent experiences with anxiety, trying to figure out God's plan for my life and questioning His will for my life. It's easy to want to try and figure out what God is doing in our lives; however, we must be reminded to now allow ourselves to become anxious about what is going on in our lives. I talk about the importance of surrendering anxieties, fears, doubts and worries to God, as well as drawing near to Him in times of confusion. I hope you are encouraged by this episode!

Hello everyone! In this episode, I talk about how God is more focused on who we are becoming over where He is leading us in life. Through the journey, He is helping us build our trust and faith in Him as we navigate life's hardships and battles. I talk about the importance of trusting in God's perfect timing and plans for our lives rather than getting anxious or trying to control our plans and do things in our own strength. I also read from Hebrews 11 and talk about the importance of building our faith in God and trusting in His perfect, yet unseen, plan for our lives. There is so much importance in daily devotion to Christ as we allow Him to shape our hearts, renew our minds, refine our character and help us grow and become more holy like Him. I pray you are encouraged to surrender your plans to God and allow Him to lead your life and shape your heart and character through the journey and 'waiting season.' I hope you are encouraged by this episode!
