Emily welcomes Carissa Lovvorn onto the podcast! She is an author writing for Christ while balancing being a mom. We are so excited for you to hear from her and gain any wisdom you can from her story.
Carissa challenges listeners to examine their seasons. Oftentimes we feel like we’re in a passive season. One that feels wasted or stagnant. Carissa opens up & shares how that can actually be a season of trusting. It is necessary to walk through those seasons & take steps towards preparing for what God has next for you!
Are you in trusting season? How are you trusting God in it? Where do you need to be preparing your heart for His bigger plan?
Carissa offers a couple pieces of advice in this episode:
As a mom, she encourages other mothers to enjoy the little things. Take time to slow down, sit with your kids & appreciate all the small details. Let them be little. Let their creativity flow. Be silly with them.
Model for your children what worship and prayer looks like.
Remember, in the hard times, God is still there with you. Keep leaning on him & trusting His ways.
Follow your dreams with Christ. Be proactive in how you are pursuing them.
