Simply Living For Him

I have heard from many ladies lately that friendships have been a struggle. Add in a pandemic and it gets even harder. We all struggle at times with loneliness, comparison, and even a bit of drama. But, women that are following the Lord together, keeping God at the center of their friendship, and building one another are beautiful to behold. We aren't supposed to look like the world, but women of God. Listen in and be encouraged to cultivate God-honoring relationships in your life! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/15/friendships-the-good-and-the-hard/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

It's too easy in the age of the Internet to take your eyes off of Jesus and onto others. We compare our lives to others and before we know it, we have wasted time trying to live a life we weren't called to live. God wants you to follow His plan and purpose for YOUR life and to glorify HIM in it! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/10/stop-living-someone-elses-life --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

Before you get caught up in the gifts, shopping, decorating, parties, and ALL the stuff, remember: This year's must-haves are next year's garage sale items. If you want to keep clutter out of your Christmas, I am giving you a Scripture today to keep you grounded! Listen in and be encouraged to have a meaningful Christmas with a focus on Jesus! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/01/keeping-clutter-out-of-christmas/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

With the holiday season approaching it’s easy to get caught up in what the world shows us hospitality should look like. But there is a big difference between entertaining and hospitality. One focuses on “look what I can do!” The other focuses on “what can I do for you? “ People will remember how they feel in your home far more than your decor or perfect recipes. Let’s discuss how we can share Jesus with those who enter our doors! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/11/20/entertaining-vs-hospitality-what-matters-most/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

I am back from the biggest milestone of our lives so far- my daughter's WEDDING! And with such big milestones, comes a change in perspective. I have been thinking a lot about how much time I have left in this earthly life and getting rid of junk–mind, body, and spirit. Come and join me as we talk about the importance of what we fill up on in our lives. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/10/29/no-more-junk-a-fruitful-mind-body-and-spirit --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

As the news headlines tell us we are facing shortages of goods and more wait times for things we "need" I am trying to get back to simple more than ever these days. Because the mindset of filling our lives with stuff and having it instantaneously can also spill into our spiritual lives. We think we need to be filled with things other than God. We also find ourselves impatient when God may want us to wait on His timing. In these pandemic times, I think we have really been given a chance to get back to what truly matters most. Join me and be inspired in small ways that can make a big difference in your life. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/10/18/its-more-important-than-ever-to-get-back-to-simple --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

When we seek perfection, sometimes we may take God out of the equation. In our earthly life, we will never achieve perfection.

This week my husband's dear grandmother, age 99, passed away. She was one of the most admired women in my life and the lessons I learned from watching her live life surpassed even the nuggets of wisdom she shared in words. One of the biggest lessons I will remember is when I asked where was her favorite place to be –she had been splitting time between the north and the south at the time– and her response, "My favorite place to be is wherever I am at the moment."

Let's dig into this topic and decide Who we are going to let influence our lives. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/06/17/what-would-your-life-look-like-if-the-world-wasnt-telling-you-how-it-should-look/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support
