Yeah. Here's part one. If this is the first time you're seeing this podcast episode for Christian women,  the reason I'm starting the description this way is that I had some tech issues that tripped me up and as a result, this podcast series is a little out of order. But trust me, it's very worth the effort. Backtrack listen to these in order and get motivated to live and pursue your life's purpose. Every Breath You Breathe is because God has a reason for you to be here. Don't delay. Don't dawdle. Get about it!      Be sure to check out GodsyGirl.com!

It’s worth the trouble. :)   This podcast episode features scriptures you can focus on and ground your faith on as you’re pursuing your life purpose.    Remember, your faith is only as good as what you put it in. Anytime your faith is anchored in God's Word you're going to be just fine!

Now is a crazy time.  How can we handle the hard emotions that surface when we are "still"?  I'll tell you how I'm dealing with it and how I'm dealing with emotions I THOUGHT I had dealt with years ago.  Always hopeful.

Check out my take on how you wait for God and you cultivate your prayer for good medical results.  Please hear this in the context in which it is given. The words are strong and I make no apologies.  My goal is to light a fire in someone facing a test result or a diagnosis.  Here is the thing.  I've been there.  I've been there several times and I'm going to share how I stay in dogged faith when I'm faced with something scary and how I respond while I'm believing God for someone else's healing.  NOTE: I do NOT believe we can manipulate God with a specific set of beliefs.  His will reigns. But, until HE makes the decision on your outcome, I want you to remain in faith. I want you to trust Him for your peace's sake - NOT BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE HIM DO ANYTHING.  That faulty theology exists and I am not advocating that. I'm advocating for the sort of faith that leans on:  "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [a]comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-8 DO KNOW: If God carries you to a trial, He has a plan, provision and will help you through it.  But, until He does, you remain in faith.  Sickness is not a sin. If you are struggling now through this sort of season, keep the faith-filled atmosphere while you fight! 

One of the most important characteristics of a pastor's wife is being accessible and relate-able.  I think social media helps with this. Listen now to hear my tips and my "take" on why pastors wives should be on social media. Maybe you'll agree. Maybe you won't, but either way you'll hear a solid argument as to why you should use social media to get to know the women in your congregation and community.   

Neglect yourself and you neglect those who need you.  Find out what I mean. Listen to my take on creating an atmosphere for taking care of yourself and eliminating the foolishness in your world.  This episode isn't so much about pastors' wives as it is relevant to any woman trying to find the mythical "balance" to make it all happen.    Here is the full scripture I referenced in the episode. Psalm 9 For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David. 1 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;     I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;     I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High. 3 My enemies turn back;     they stumble and perish before you. 4 For you have upheld my right and my cause,     sitting enthroned as the righteous judge. 5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;     you have blotted out their name for ever and ever. 6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,     you have uprooted their cities;     even the memory of them has perished. 7 The Lord reigns forever;     he has established his throne for judgment. 8 He rules the world in righteousness     and judges the peoples with equity. 9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,     a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those who know your name trust in you,     for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. 11 Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;     proclaim among the nations what he has done. 12 For he who avenges blood remembers;     he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted. 13 Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!     Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death, 14 that I may declare your praises     in the gates of Daughter Zion,     and there rejoice in your salvation. 15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;     their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. 16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;     the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c] 17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,     all the nations that forget God. 18 But God will never forget the needy;     the hope of the afflicted will never perish. 19 Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph;     let the nations be judged in your presence. 20 Strike them with terror, Lord;     let the nations know they are only mortal.

I learned several things lately. I'm sharing. I've learned God can hide sweet moments in trying ones, like my son's surgery. I've learned God answers prayers we pray even when the other person doesn't know it and I've learned we serve a powerful Lord and Savior in Jesus Christ (actually, I knew that one I knew already:)

In this episode, I share a personal scare and how God got me through it. It also taught me something very important about my marriage. Learn from my lessons.

This is a tough topic. I've lived it and I think it presents TONS of challenges.  There is no perfect solution, but here is my take. Blended families can work, but in just about every case there is some confusion and discomfort in the beginning. Here's my story and my "take".

Marriage is hard for any ethnicity.  However, it is super hard for women of color because of the models we saw and the way we were socialized. I'm talking real talk and giving real warnings in this episode of GodsyGirl FaithJuice.  I hunger for your comments and thoughts. 

Let's talk about some characteristics of a pastor's wife.  Find some practical, real life conversations about everything from jealousy to confidence.

Are you a single woman thinking of dating a pastor? If so, here are a few tips and "food for thought" before you take the leap into the "deep" end of the pool of being a pastor's wife. Pastors wives deal with so many things and many could be avoided if you plan ahead, ask the right questions and keep your eyes peeled. 

I'm talking real talk about the struggles pastors' children (commonly known as PKs) deal with in ministry. Warning: I'm talking transparently to church members and pastors' wives. 

I'm sorry.  I purposely re-did this podcast. Corrected some audio errors and adjusted sound. Blame it on being a newbie Christian podcaster.  If you're getting this a second time...please forgive.  If you're getting it for the first time...you're welcome. :) 

Going through a rough time? Need encouragement from the Bible and not a lot of "blah blah". Well, listen now and hear scriptures to soothe your anxious spirit. Everything will be ok.
