Something Sweet:  Jon Acuff's Book Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking

This first episode of Season 2 is devoted to a little catching up on what I've been doing and the changes happening in my life.  I also share with you the Psalm that is currently on repeat in my mind and heart.

Hope you enjoy the new theme music by Jonah Cabrera!!  Here's another one of his lovely compositions:  A January Night

In this episode, I share a story of a recent "no win" situation that I stressed over, to the point of frustration with God for not giving me direction.  A few moments before the situation came to the decision point, the decision was taken out of my hands!  I never needed that direction! 

Sometimes I take on too much responsibility, too much worry.  I try too hard to make everything nice.  It's ok if everything isn't always nice.  Things will work out in the end, and even if the result isn't what I wanted, I'll be alright.  You will too.
