It’s easy for us to drown in the messy problems we’re facing each day, but if we stop and remember where God has shown up for us before, we may discover that laughter and even joy are hiding in the mud. Today, Paige welcomes Cynthia Yanof. Cynthia is a wife, mother, podcast host of the show MESSmerized, blogger, and author of Life is Messy God is Good - the topic of today’s episode. Cynthia looks at life and all its hardships with the deep understanding that God is sovereign AND He is good - and that if we take the time to look back at all the ways He has come through for us before (especially in ways we didn't expect), we can move through life’s difficulties with a little less heaviness on our shoulders and a little more laughter in our hearts.
Paige’s Takeaways
- Value the quality of your friendships, not the quantity. Cherish the ones who point you back to Jesus.
- Stones of Remembrance: Remember where God has been in your life! Write down what God is doing in this moment and season, so you can stand against the seasons of despair where the enemy will want to come in and lie to you!
- Give “Easy Yeses” wherever you can! Let your kids have some (safe) autonomy. Allow them easy yeses so that they can learn, grow, and gain confidence.
