Carving out Margin in the Mess

Carving out Margin in the Mess

The start of a new year always prompts me to reflect. I find myself tracing the blessings of the past year and looking hopefully to the coming year. Perhaps one of the most powerful lessons I learned in 2013 (and keep relearning) is the importance of margin. We have been a part of a life group, including 5 families (and a whole gaggle of [...] Keep Reading

Today we are walking through Psalm 95, a praise and thanksgiving psalm! 
The people thank God for being the rock of their salvation, a great God and high King. My favorite image here is God as our Shepherd. He calls us the โ€œpeople of his pasture, the sheep of his hand.โ€ ๐Ÿ‘ He is a faithful shepherd who keeps His eye on us, provides food for us, and hears our cries even in the wilderness place. What a comfort!
I hope you will take a little time today to listen and read Psalm 95. Join me in thanksgiving and also heed this warning in v. 8-11 not to repeat the past! 
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพHow has God been faithful to you in the past? Letโ€™s not forget who He is and what He has done in our lives!

๐ŸŽ™ In this episode, we interviewed Latasha Ferguson, who is a speaker, writer, podcaster (Overcome to Become Podcast), and ministry leader. Her heart beats for empowering women to do the hard work of heart work so they can get unstuck, overcome, own their story, and live authentically.
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ We chatted about how running helped her overcome adversity, modeling a healthy lifestyle for her four daughters, and how to get started if youโ€™re a newbie.
Tune in to Eat Pray Run, Season 2, Episode 8 for more goodness from @latashamferguson anywhere you listen to podcasts! ๐ŸŽง
