This topic began to resonate with my guests so I am sharing another episode because I truly believe God is sending a clear message to all of us. This week my guest is Chrissy Huffman. Chrissy and I dig into the notion that we have to “keep up” and the overwhelming belief that she had to be everything for everyone! Can't we all relate!

What if I had… he had, she had, we had!  We could all look at life through the “what if” lens. The worry and prideful lens that questions Gods sovereignty. He is either good, or He isn’t! He is either all knowing, all powerful creator or He isn't. There is no in between.

Is the harness good enough to hold you? Fitted to you appropriately, capable of withstanding the trip across the line? All the rules they tell you about how to get to the other side are futile, if the harness is wrong.  Jesus is the harness on this ride we call life! HE is good enough.

I love birthdays, I especially LOVE cake. When my kids were younger I wanted elaborate cakes and back then no one made 3D cakes.. so fun fact about me, I figured it out and did it myself.  The thing about a birthday cake, it makes a statement, sets the theme for the party.

Where do we find it, how do we share it? Are happiness and joy the same thing? The answer to that last question, is no. Happiness and joy are not the same and there is a common misconception that they are. We tend to find happiness in things, new cars, food, material things, but often that happiness is fleeting and those “things” don’t really provide joy. Happiness is what happens to you; Joy is what is produced...2022-06-0706 minThe MOM Show with Courtney DoyleThe MOM Show with Courtney DoyleEpisode 38~Prayer Tuesday LoveToday is the first day we start exploring each of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
