Living a thankful and grateful life is not something that only takes place during Thanksgiving…it is how we are called to live as followers of Christ. This week we are looking at simple and practical ways to live our life generously and thanking God for all He has given us and provided for us. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season that is quickly upon us we want to skip over being thankful and run into the busyness and the doing, doing, doing. 

Taking the time to slow down and focus on what truly matters changes the atmosphere of our mind and our hearts. I know you have so many things pulling you in different directions and I am confident that after this episode you will have great reminders, tools and resources to live a thankful life.

April Lockhart is our guest today and we are talking about all things purpose! Isn’t it so funny how sometimes we look at the very thing that sets us apart as something that God cannot use? As we dive into April’s story you will quickly learn that the way God is using her and her platform is how He wants to use all of us…just as we are. April was born without a fully formed left hand and has coined the term “disabled fashion girlie” 

Although she would pray for God to heal her as a little girl, she has grown to fully embrace how she has been created, not just for her, but for those around her as well. Just like the rest of us, April is on her journey to becoming and I know you will be encouraged and touched by her story and the amazing doors that are opening for her. 

Scriptures Referenced: Ephesians 5:2

Today we get to hear from Dr. Jeff Barke who is known on social media for his quick “morning message” that informs you of the truth you need to know when it comes to your health.

We can get behind that, right?! 

The environments that we choose to be in and cultivate are crucial to our growth and the same is true for our health. I am confident that after listening to this episode you will be equipped and have at least one thing that you know you can begin to implement today in becoming that better, healthier version of you!

I dare you to listen to this episode and answer the questions that we are going to talk about. These questions were part of an exercise I did a couple years ago and now looking back, I realized that my honest answers in that moment has brought so much necessary and healthy change in my life that I am forever grateful for. 

This is not another reflection exercise to gloss over… I truly believe that this could be the beginning of everything changing in your life for the better. I want to invite you to spend 15 minutes with these questions, pray over them and take action on what you wrote down. ”But, what if I am scared to do that?!” girl, I promise you, that you are not alone! You can do it scared, let’s do this! 

Scriptures Referenced: John 10:10
