Below are some of our favorite takeaways from today’s show:
⭐️ Our failures are what produce times of growth within our lives. It’s typically during the difficult times that God is preparing us for our next assignment.
⭐️ Seasons of waiting teach us how to be humble and allow us to put our trust in the Lord for our future dreams. However, the true blessing of life comes when we learn to be content in the moment.
⭐️ God brings forth beauty from ashes even in the midst of intense pain and loss. He gives us peace to rise up and serve others which helps with the healing process.
⭐️ Just like a tapestry looks messy from the side that is being woven, our lives can feel similarly on this side of eternity. But when we see Jesus face to face we will see the beauty of the finished product clearly and know that God was weaving together our story.
⭐️ We become relatable (even in the midst of perfectionism) by being vulnerable and sharing our stories.
