Today I spent some time reflecting and watched the very first episode of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance podcast that aired on May 1, 2024. At first, I caught myself criticizing my lack of experience and fixating on clicks and downloads (or should I say, the lack thereof!). But then I realized something: God was thrilled with that episode! Our accomplishments don't have to go viral or become the latest trend for God to give His stamp of approval or for Him to use them for His glory! He loves to witness His kids working in their calling. In His eyes, that first episode and the 60+ that followed are perfect. And that is truly all that matters. I hope you enjoy looking back with me on this first episode. https://youtu.be/wB--XURKAvc #reflection #takethefirststep #podcasting #stampofapproval #youneedthis

How does one live a balanced life without the constant pressure to be perfect? Take a listen to this clip from my interview with Tom Nolan on TCT Television three years ago. These principles were true then, they’re still true now—and that’s why I felt compelled to write about them in my books, Break Down Better: 52 Restoring Devotionals for Burned-Out Women and A Better Way! The Break Down Better Guided Journal. #devotional #journal #perfection #foryou #listentothis #shorts

Part 1.... In 2023, I had the honor of being a guest on TCT Television with Tom Nolan. At the time, I was beginning to step out—writing, speaking, and publicly sharing my testimony for the first time. I had no idea then that I would one day be holding two published books, openly sharing my journey through perfectionism, imbalance, burnout, and mental breakdown. The station later archived many of its episodes, and I didn’t even set the DVR that day. I was so excited I simply recorded a few clips on my phone. I’m so thankful I did. This moment is a reminder that God often starts with small beginnings. He prepares us long before we realize what He’s doing—and that opportunity was just the beginning. #television #media #ministry #burnout #foryou

To incubate in the presence of God is to linger with Him. To listen instead of striving. To learn instead of forcing. While the dream is being formed, so are we. Our faith deepens. Our trust strengthens. Our character is refined. And often, the work God is doing in us matters more than the work we want to produce through us. #breakdownbetter #kingdom #impact #foryoupage #shorts
