132. The Present Moment: An Ever-flowing Source of Holiness - Abandonment to Divine Providence Chapter 2

 "Fix these words of mine into your mind and being" Deuteronomy 11:18.

This week, the lovely Carrie Daunt joins me to discuss her latest book, "Beloved Daughter." It was a treat for my heart to chat with my dear friend Carrie, as we discuss the importance of helping our daughters know who they are in God. 

In a world that speaks so many lies into our daughters' hearts, we mommas must speak the truth of God's blessings and affirmations over them. In doing this, we can help them rest in their truest identity as a beloved daughter of God's. Carrie’s children’s book beautifully does just that! 



Check out all things Carrie Daunt and her latest book here:

Beloved Daughter:
Beloved Daughter – John Paul II Healing Center (jpiihealingcenter.org)

John Paul II Healing Center:
John Paul II Healing Center – Transformation in the Heart of the Church (jpiihealingcenter.org)

Every little girl longs to know the delight of the Father and the truth of her God-given goodness. Yet often as parents we lack adequate words to express the necessary affirmations our daughters’ hearts need to hear. This beautiful little book is your invitation to curl up close to her and proclaim the truth of her identity, as a precious and beloved daughter.

"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” ~Mark 6:31. 

This week, I dive into the idea that we are often guilty of becoming human DOings rather than human BEings. As we enter into the Lenten Season, this is an invitation to spend more time simply being with God rather than trying to do for God. 

*Also* I will be taking a break to BE with God during this Lent. I have one or two more episodes that will come out, but will return in full force after Easter. I will miss you all, but will be praying for you during this time! Blessings friends.

 "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." ~ Matthew 25:35-40. 

This week we explore the truth that love is NOT convenient. No, my friends, love is often difficult and stretching. It is both glorious and painful, joyful and sorrowful. Yet, it is through the abounding love that we carry that we begin to embody Christ himself, for "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” Philippians 4:8.

This week we wrap up our series on being FOR our children! We’ve discussed being for them in action and in word, but how can we succeed at either if in the depths of our hearts we aren’t for them???

"Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."  Proverbs 16:24

This week we continue discussing the importance of being FOR our children. We know in the depths of our momma hearts that we are, but the big question is - do they know it? Today we explore the power of words, both the negative implications and the beautiful transforming strength of words!

“Anyone who is not for me is against me; and whoever does not gather with me scatters."  Luke 11:23

This week I kick off a mini-series about being "FOR" our children. We all deeply love and adore our children, and most of us would jump in front of a moving train for them. Yet, our actions, words, and hearts don't always line up with the depth of love that we have for them.

"Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and He will say: Here I am.”  (Isaiah 58:9)

This week I explore in depth my newest word of the year, "Hineni", which is Hebrew for "Here I am". When God calls us, will we hide like Adam and Eve, or will we respond like Abraham and Moses with a swift and servant-like response of “Hineni”?

"She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn" - Luke 2: 7. 

This week we wrap up our miniseries on accompanying Mary through the Advent season by reflecting upon her silent surrender. This new and yet docile mother allowed God to lead the way as she gave birth in a stable and laid her newborn son in what once was a feeding trough for the animals. 

But it wasn't merely her ability to quietly surrender to God's will in the difficulties of her story that made her silent surrender something to be awed at. No, Mary quietly surrendered even with the miraculous and glorious reception of all that is good. For, even after the shepherds declared all that the angels had told them about the birth of the Messiah, Mary "treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart"

"My soul proclaims the greatness in God my Savior. For he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant"

This week we continue on our journey of accompanying Mary this Advent as she takes humble action in bringing Christ to others.
