How to Walk in The Light [Episode 88]

Thriving In Motherhood Podcast | Productivity, Planning, Family Systems, Time Management, Survival Mode, Mental Health, Vision - A podcast by Jessica Jackson - Wednesdays

Merry Christmas!! Today, I talk about choosing to walk in the light rather than darkness during times of trial.  Key Points from this Episode: Angels are helping us in our times of trial even if we don't notice them.  Our thought patterns are like waking through tall grass. Our typical patterns are well-worn paths and are easy to walk through. It takes effort to try a new path, but you can do it! Read the questions to ask God. Open the scriptures and read a few verses. Then review and ponder the questions and see where the Spirit guides your thoughts. Hone in on what is in your circle of influence. Accept what phase of the Surviving to Thriving Framework you are in (Surviving, Re-Entry, Normalizing, Exploring, or Thriving). Own it and don't try to keep a foot in the door in phases you aren't really in right now! Oftentimes when our circumstances get bigger than ourselves, contentment can be the first thing to go. Peace can go out the door right with it. Accept the circumstances for what they are and remember they are temporary. It will help you find peace and contentment where you are. I can find peace and contentment right now. I can feel satisfaction and successes with what I am doing right now. I can feel gratitude and joy right now. Even when things are so so so hard. And that absolutely comes from being taught how to walk in the light.  We have so much help.  We have so much love. We have so much support from God and from Jesus Christ and so many others. It takes work to choose to keep fighting to stay in your circle of influences, but you can do it!
