I had a short series called "Girlfriends Guide to Grief" on this podcast as I walked through the early stages of losing my husband. As I was praying this morning about the podcast and what I should do next, I was reminded and wanted to let you know where things are now. In this episode, I talk a little bit about where I am now and some of my favorite things that help me not only get through each day. I've made changes in my personal eating, fitness, and health that has helped me to get where I am now. These changes have been huge for me now that I'm 51 and just dealing with the things that most women deal with as we age. I have found that it doesn't have to all be bad, we just have to do things differently.Below are two of the things I mentioned that I love!The Spiral Bible (USE " MINDY20" for a discount) - https://spiralbible.com/ Verse Mapping - https://www.thejamesmethod.com/products/verse-map-journalLove these - If you want to hear more about what I've done differently as far as my eating, workouts, nutrition, etc.… Would you let me know?

Building Steadfast Strength is the topic Mindy spoke on at The Boldly Conference. Boldly is the conference for women who are driven in work and anchored in faith. At this annual gathering, the divide between sacred and secular is fiercely dismantled and women are encouraged to see their work as a vital part of God's story. Because your work matters! And we believe that when faithful, working women unite, the result is a generation of women boldly partnering with God to see His Kingdom come. Mindy has spoken twice at Boldly and this year was all about being Steadfast. As hard as it is at some points, grueling at other times, building steadfast strength only comes as we go THROUGH struggle... not around it. Join Mindy at the 2024 conference!

A healthy dose of rejection… None of us like rejection, but it does happen and many times as Christians it's exactly what God intends. Sharing this situation with The Bible Babes , one of the ladies gave this quote: "Rejection is many times God's protection and His redirection" I do believe everything is a God situation when something happens instead of throwing a fit, feeling like a victim or blaming I like to think and ask… God, what do you want me to learn here? I think any tactic He uses to draw me back to him, bring me into a better way of thinking, or even get me out of a certain situation calls for praise and gratefulness that He cares for my daily thoughts and actions that much.It does take a while to bring ourselves to this kind of thinking, but I believe it's how God wants us to think instead of selfishly. Don't get me wrong I have my moments of selfishness, my own pity parties, and me dwelling in the misunderstanding of it all. But He always draws me back to His truth and I not only want to share that with you, but also encourage you. We can do the same through Him.Scriptures From This Episode:Romans 8:38-39Psalm 27:102 Corinthians 12:9Philippians 4:191 Peter 5:8Romans 15:13--Connect with MindyWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTube--Come check out the zero drama, zero judgment women's group who want to dive deeper into their faith and have some girly fun along the way.

Getting to talk less and less about my late husband leaves a void. In this episode, we talk through how it feels, almost four years later, to carry on as a widowed, singled mom who does her best to keep going. Uggg - this is pretty real and raw. "For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness" Psalm 18:28"This is Where I Leave You" is the movie I reference in this episode. Now, I don't necessarily love everything about this movie, but some parts get me in the gut. (I always loved movies and if all school curriculum could be in movie form, I would have retained so much knowledge. hehe!)Please share with someone this might help and/or encourage.

In the midst of trouble, sadness and hardship... Confused? Wondering what's happening or how to deal? What do you do? I try to speak to these very things in this episode, sharing my troubles and how I keep my heart and mind above the despair and focus on what His Word tells us. We are seeing lots of things in our world that contribute to this as well as experiencing things in our own lives. None of this is a surprise to Him, and He tells us not only how to get through, but that in Him, our troubles do not even compare to the glory that is waiting for us on the other side as Christians.

The truth - probably the thing we see the least these days. The good news is that the truth is available and just waiting for us to remind ourselves of it. In our drive to school today, my son read from Jesus Today by Sarah Young (as kids devotional) which is all about truth. Not sure what's happening in your life currently, but I have a feeling most of us are dealing with something or maybe a few things... I get it. Widowhood is not for the faint of heart and feeling alone and defeated is something I have to fight daily. Seeking Jesus is a critical as air and water for me, at this point and I praise God he is always ready for me. Scriptures mentioned today - - John 8:32- Psalm 31:19-20- Malachi 4:2- Romans 8:1-2Praying for you (and myself). --Connect with MindyWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTube--Come check out the zero drama, zero judgment women's group who want to dive deeper into their faith and have some girly fun along the way.
