In this podcast episode, I'm introducing you to my sweet little granddaughter who teaches us all a valuable lesson in the value of learning hard things and celebrating the wins! Alongside her story, I'm sharing a piece of my own personal journey of facing fear and anxiety, and the truth of finding rest in where our true identity is found. Through our experiences, we are reminded of the unwavering support of our heavenly father, who cheers us on through every step of life's journey, ready to catch us when we stumble.

As the years tick by and I get older, I’ve observed in myself and others how emotions can be all over the place when Christmas rolls around. The truth is, Christmas time brings with it moments filled with anticipation, excitement, laughter, and maybe even a yummy platter of perfect Christmas cookies - but other times we can feel a tug at our heartstrings that feels disappointment or sadness - and the Christmas cookies seem dry and tasteless!. No matter what age or stage of life we’re in, Christmas is usually a dance between Christmas joy and the occasional note of disappointment.
Let's have some fun this Christmas present while strolling down the lane of some Christmases past...
