EP 65 3 Truths About Forgiveness

Hey Sis,
Are you a grudge holder?
To forgive or hold a grudge??? To get revenge for that hurt- you know what I'm talking about...secret joy at another's misfortune because of a hurt or slight they have caused you. Today, we are looking at how forgiveness turns that upside down and why it is a gift to ourselves! 
Forgiveness is a decision.
Forgiveness is a transaction, an exchange.
Forgiveness is a release and a letting go.
Forgiveness is a practice.
Forgiveness is a command, not a suggestion in the Bible.
Forgiveness is freeing.
Forgiveness is possible.
Forgiveness allows you to be who you were created to be.
Forgiveness opens the floodgates of the fruit of the spirit.
Forgiveness allows you to let go of the past and it's control of your future.
Forgiveness allows you to be loved and to fully love.
Forgiveness is not a weakness.
Forgiveness puts you in control.
Forgiveness is a choice.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
 
As you listen to today's episode, I pray the eyes of your heart will be enlightened and open to hear God's truth over you beloved!

EP 63 Infertility And Adoption, Trusting God Through It All With Kristen Clark

I had the great pleasure of speaking with co-founder of Girl Defined Ministries, Kristen Clark, on the podcast today! You might remember her sister, Bethany, from a few episodes ago. Kristen's story is a powerful one of beauty, faith, and perseverance. Kristen Clark is married to her best friend, Zack, and is the newly adoptive mom to two precious boys from Ukraine. She is co-founder of Girl Defined Ministries, author of several books, including Not Part of the Plan: Trusting God with the Twists and Turns of Your Story, and is passionate about promoting the message of God-defined womanhood through blogging, speaking, mentoring young women, and hosting Bible studies in her living room. In the end, she’s just a fun-lovin’ Texas girl who adores all things outdoors and is an unashamed dog-lover who snuggles with her little maltipoo whenever she can.

EP 62 Busy Women Get It Done Birthday Podcast

It's our birthday month and wow oh wow, how fast a year can pass!! 
First, THANK YOU for being a part of the journey over the past year. If you are just joining us-welcome. But, if you have been with me steadily or sporadically over the past year my heart is full of thanks for you. I never take lightly the fact that you took time out of your busy day to give the podcast a listen.
 Join me in a celebration as we roll out a new course/Bible study focused on productivity and the character of the Proverbs 31 woman, "Busy Women Get It Done, a look at Proverbs 31"
This was the course I was writing before I actually started the podcast. I was teaching and helping women in the network marketing space, coaching folks as they were beginning their journey and helping moms who were struggling in their day to day.
It seemed only fitting that I put pen to paper and capture these concepts to reach even more. God has incredible things to teach us in His Word and I believe in these last days there is no better time to listen in!
I'd be blessed and honored if, after you take a few minutes to listen if you would go on over to either www.kathylanham.com or click on the link to take the study- www.bit.ly/prov31  because after all, it's the busy woman that get's things done! And, get a friend to join you! Iron sharpens iron and it's much more fun to share what you are learning.

After all, everyone in the family contributes to the mess, so everyone in the family should contribute to the cleanup. I read a great blog post on Focus On The Family recently, and I wanted to share it with my listeners!
