The Fourth Hardest Thing - ProceedWait
Cup of Soul Podcast
Do I proceed or do I wait? When sitting at the stop line, I anxiously await a red light to turn green and give me the go-ahead. When cruising towards an upcoming intersection, I tense up at the sight of a yellow signal, as I am forced to instantly determine if I can stop safely or if I should proceed with caution. I wonder if God sometimes chooses to act like a set of traffic lights. Sisterfriends, Get those journals! For instance, how often do we want to say or do something despite our conscience telling us otherwise? When you think about the goal behind a signal they are used to give...

The Third Hardest Things-Fail/Succeed Part 2
Cup of Soul Podcast
The Third Hardest Things-Fail/Succeed Part 2 ”What if I fall? Oh, my darling but what if you fly!” I absolutely love this quote. I’ve seen it posted lots of times. It’s often accompanied by captions that have encouraged and inspired me but I often find myself thinking… yeah the flying bit is cool but what if I do fall? Candis says, Last week we talked about failure/success and what it means in terms of how we are moving with God. This week we are talking through the scriptures and what the WORD tells us about failure and success. As we are reading...

The Third Hardest Thing -Fail/Succeed
Cup of Soul Podcast
Welcome to Failures Anonymous. We sneak in the backdoor and meet in the basement. Some of us are in disguise. We wear the masks of good performance, the many hats of admirable behavior, the coats of enviable credentials, and nice-gal necklaces. Failure is a word almost no one wants to be associated with. Our failures don't have to be final. But we need to learn the ways that let us move beyond them. Start by listening to God's Word. Candis says... You are going to need an entire journal for this one! This week's episode is about failure and success - but not the way...

The Second Hardest Thing- Be Tolerant/Intolerant
Cup of Soul Podcast
What God Thinks About Tolerance Question: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the greatest, how tolerant are you? “Tolerant of what?” you might ask, thinking of politics, religion, sports, or intelligence. Most of us think of ourselves as being quite tolerant, and certainly if we are in the minority, we demand tolerance and respect as a kind of sacred right. But the deeper issue evokes another question: Should we be tolerant at all? You know, Christians are often characterized as being intolerant. It’s a negative word that...

The First Hardest Thing - Single-Focus
Cup of Soul Podcast
The First Hardest Thing - Single-Focus This week's Cup of Soul Candis reflects -as we are getting into the book, The 7 Hardest Things God Asks A Woman To Do, this week and starting off strong! How many times have you mapped out all the things that you needed to do in a day and decided that the goal was to finish them all? In fact you even figured out how you could do multiple things at the same time. Sure you might have been able to do it, but did you do them well? What was at the center of the list - what you wanted to do or what God was asking you to do. Theresa reflects -to the...

How Do I Know What God Wants Me To Do?
Cup of Soul Podcast
How do you feel when someone asks you to do something you are unsure about? Do you just say yes or no? . Or does it depend on who it is and what is being asked? . Sit with that for a minute.

In this episode we are beginning a book "7 Hardest Things God Asks A Woman to Do" and we will talk about those times where we are more concerned with looking for answers than looking to God and describing our "best yes". Listen to the very...

Growing Old Growing Up
Cup of Soul Podcast
Growing Old Growing Up s strange and mysterious to me, and I’m not quite sure I’ve got a handle on it yet. It surrounds me -- I feel it in my back when I get up and I see it in my hair when I spot another strand that’s gray. Change is an inevitable part of life. We’re being shaped every minute we live. Every thought, every decision, every action, every emotion, every response is shaping us into one kind of person or another. Either we’re moving toward likeness to Christ or away from Him into some sort of caricature of the person God intended us to be. This week 5 sisterfriends...
