Ever struggle with knowing God’s will for you? How about the willingness to walk in it? Join Suzette Katopodes and I as we discuss some of the challenges that come even when you step out into something he has planned for you. Suzette is a wife and a mom. About three years ago, she stepped into a full-time caregiver for her adult sister with down syndrome and Alzheimer’s. Just because she is sure that God called her to this role doesn’t make the challenges go away. Suzette shared she still needs to ask for God’s guidance and willingness daily. I needed the encouragement that even in the plans God has for us we need to seek him every day for wisdom and willingness. What to hear more tips for caregivers?

· In trying to seek God’s will - how do you test your plans? if they are met by resistance? What is the resistance?
Do life’s circumstances leave you wondering what is God’s will? How do you deal with this or handle that? Where do you go from here? What is your next step?
We often find ourselves in this place and it can be overwhelming. I have gathered some verses and some questions into a journaling resource to help us process what’s next- how do we act in trust?
