Episode 024 - Courage

Last week I discussed fear and this week I delve into facing that fear with courage. What is it that you’re afraid of? God takes away all fear and gives you the courage to face the challenges and obstacles in our lives.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers this coming week as I get my new pacemaker/defibrillator implant procedure scheduled for Tuesday, March 12, 2024. This is considered an “outpatient procedure” that is done at the hospital. I’ll be sent home as soon as the “twilight” drug they use has worn off sufficiently.

I’ll be glad to get this over with and get back to my regularly scheduled programming…at least two more weeks of it. Yes, the audio only podcast will be coming to a close after the 26th episode, which is six months. I will transition to doing the video vlogs featuring my art and creative endeavors. My plan is to continue these videos every other week, on Fridays.

Spring is just around the corner, tonight we turn the clocks forward for Daylight Savings Time here in the US. I spend a tremendous amount of time in the garden and I’ll be sure to bring you along and with a video format, I can do that. The videos do take more time to edit so the twice a month schedule will be much easier for me to maintain. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.

I’m sending all my love and blessings!

Faith and Hope

Living for over six decades with these chronic issues that doctors seemed to know little or nothing about often left me feeling defeated and with little hope. I found my courage and my strength through my faith. I found these daily devotionals by Sara such encouraging words that I hope reach out to you too, wherever you are and whatever you’re going through.

A Daily Devotional for Discovering a Meaningful Life in Christ by Sara Daigle.

Finalist in the 2019 TopShelf Book Awards, Women of Purpose offers 100 days of scripture-based devotions for an intentional and abundant life rooted in Christ.

I hope you enjoyed the show and share it with a friend! I’m not on some of the usual podcast platforms due to censorship that would not allow me to share the truth. I hope you will help me by sharing this podcast with your family and friends that you care about. There are many people out there struggling with chronic illnesses that can benefit by listening to some of the tips I share.
