*sorry about the sound y'all * Happy Easter Monday! I'm trying to be more consistent with posting, but I promised a reflection of the week on being filled. First be filled. It's difficult to love people on empty. The reality is loved people love people, so how you operate in your everyday life determines your relationship not just with your significant other, but everyone from your coworker to the cashier at the grocery store. The world needs more love, so let's live in this truth today and the rest of the week. Books Mentioned: Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself Book by Nedra Glover Tawwab The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict Book by Ken Sande Scriptures Mentioned: Matthew 20:28 Matthew 22:34-40 John 3:16 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT

When are we our best selves? Living in an era of Treat Yourself, Do You, Live Your Best Life, etc., it can be easy to confuse our identities, passions, and purpose for what and who surrounds us. But let's be real our best self is equally the morning we get out of sweatpants as it is being on a tropical island. It all comes from the root. When are we our best selves? When we are ourselves! In our most true, authentic and honest self. This doesn't mean you can be rude because serving others is equally important too. Listen for more. Verse of the Day: Psalm 139:14.

In this episode of Surrender Perfect, our host Kay drops the notes and talking points and just gets real about her story of experiencing what some have coined "Fatherlessness" (or growing up without a father/male figure around). She also discusses the effects of rejection and how focusing on our Father in Heaven heals the holes of pain and hurt. Listeners, please know you are loved. No abandonment and no rejection can change that fact.
There is no doubt that we serve a God who can heal immediately! I am believing this December 2020 that the year isn't canceled. There is more healing to do. There is more winning to do. In today's episode, we talk about the significance of your storm and rainy seasons. It is so important to stay calm and grounded in your storm as it prepares you and waters you for your next season. Nevertheless, our response is the foreground of how we move throughout our season as well as help others in theirs, as newly practiced Storm Watchers.
In this episode, we discuss three creative ways or perspectives that can be used to identify your dreams and goals for those otherwise feeling stuck or uncertain.
