Loving On Purpose Bonnie Lyman

Have you wondered why everyone is so full of joy on the day they get married?  They don't care if it's snowing when it was supposed to be a sunny summer day; they don't care if the cake didn't arrive.  It's because they are focusing on what matters most; they are focusing on what's going right!  It can be one of the happiest days of our life because of what we are focusing on.  Sometimes we have to intentionally look for something good to focus on that will bring us joy, often with difficult family members.  Maybe the focus could be that they aren't difficult, they are just different.  Circumstances are not what bring us joy.  It's our thoughts about the circumstance that can bring us joy.  If we choose to focus on the good in a person or on what's going right in any given situation we will feel joy.

Do you know the difference between confidence and self confidence?  Confidence is knowing you have the ability or skill to do something.  I am confident I can bake a cake.  Whereas, self confidence is the belief and trust we have about ourselves.  When we are self confident we feel comfortable in our own skin.  Listen to this episode to find out 7 ways we can foster it and help develop it in yourself.  We were born to be creators.  Lack of self confidence is a roadblock to creating the life we want to live.

What is God's plan for you?  Did you know it's different than God's plan for your children.  We can prove that but if look at all the different ways to grow in this life, all the different learning styles, we can assume that our "lessons" for becoming the person we want to become are going to be different than our children's.  Our time is well spent if we focus on fixing ourselves instead of focusing on fixing our children.  While we can agree with this thought, we often want to get in God's business of knowing what's best for our children.  If we can learn to wait and let our children learn what's best for them their way, things can work out better than we ever could have imagined.  In this episode I offer you two ways help you learn to wait.

This is an interview I had with daughter Julie and mother Jane about their relationship with each other.  Each shares their perspectives of what showing love, respect, and support to an adult child looks like.  You will first hear from the Julie the daughter and then Jane the  mom.  Listen closely for the common thread of love, respect, and support each has for each other.  Proof that love always wins; what happens when the parent puts her desires aside for the desires of her daughter;  we don't know what's best for another person.
