Gratitude is my superpower—and the best part is it’s available to everyone. In this episode, I open up about my own healing journey, and how choosing gratitude has allowed me to heal and develop a deeper connection with God. If you’ve ever asked “why me?” or struggled to shift your focus from pain to purpose, this conversation is for you. Maybe gratitude can become your secret weapon, too.

Friend, did you know that everything that happens in life can be used for your good? Romans 8:28 says “God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Not some things, ALL things work together for our good…. That’s great news, but do you believe it? How different would your life be if you actually believed that your only 2 options were to win or learn something new?

These days, I hear so many people say they don’t want kids, and I used to be one of them, but boy am I grateful God had other plans for me. I had no idea how joyful and rewarding having children would be. So today, I’ll share how having kids has influenced my personal growth, healing, and sense of purpose.

One of the most important things I learned in marriage was how to manage my anger. Growing up, I watched my parents fight, and every fight would devolve into the same pattern of disrespect and dishonor, and I picked up their dysfunctional ways of fighting, so I had to unlearn those habits, before adopting new ones to fight more productively.

So today, we’ll talk about how we can manage my anger, through boundaries, and ultimately fight clean for resolution, while maintaining love and respect in the marriage.

Marriage is the perfect platform to help you grow as an individual, as you become 1 with your spouse and also with God, to fulfill the great commission. With God at the center, the hard things in marriage help you grow and mature, instead of getting bitter or resentful.

Today, we have my other half with us to finish out the 3 part series on love and marriage. If you haven’t listened to the last 2 episodes, go back and start there, for context on how and why we got together. We’ve been through So many ups and downs in the almost 20 years we’ve been together, and honestly the lows helped us grow and learn the most, so we’re thankful for all of them, as they’ve helped us appreciate the highs that much more!

The idea of marriage is both beautiful and a little crazy when you think about 2 becoming 1. How do you take 2 people with 2 different personalities, hurts and hang-ups, strengths and weaknesses, families and cultures, in our case, and try to blend them into 1? Why and how do we do it? Well life is hard ya’ll, so to be able to do it with someone you love and fill it with life’s sweetest blessings can make life so sweet. So let’s talk about it, the good, bad and ugly…

This is a true love story where God transformed my turbulent and unstable family life into the stable, love-filled, and joyful family life I now cherish. My husband and I had to fight to get here, because we both had childhood trauma working against us, but MAN was it worth it, and we want to share about it here, so this will be a 3 part series, where we’ll talk everything love and marriage. And my husband will join me as my first guest interview in part 3 to share His insights and perspective, but first, I’ll tell you my side of our redemption story.
