Walking Life Together
Hey friends! Thank you so much for joining me in this last episode. Well, last episode for now at least. If the Lord calls me back, Iāll be back. š But for now, I know a break is needed to focus on other things Godās called me to. So, I spent some time thinking and praying about what to say in this episode, and I came away with this ā¦ I will speak about love. Iāll speak about how the Lord calls us to walk ā¦ which is with love for others. In John 13:34-35 we read this: āA new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this...
info_outline My Desire To Be SuccessfulWalking Life Together
Where does your mind go when you hear the word success? Do you immediately think of how much $ one makes, or maybe how big of a home someone has, or maybe itās the type of work one does and the rank of their position within a company? I can tell you, a quick few clicks on the web will show you that most people seem to define success in one of these ways. As of lately, my mind has been soaking on this question ā¦ āWhat is the measure of success?ā Or maybe I should say, āHow does Heather Gibson see success?ā This is an important question that we should all ponder. In this episode, I...
info_outline Endings and New BeginningsWalking Life Together
Happy New Year, amazing Walking Life Together friends! I consider it a privilege that you would join me at the start of this new year! I pray at the end of 2023 you were able to see the good things that came from the year ā¦ even if you had to sift through some challenging and painful situations to locate the goodā¦ to find the blessings. Sometimes thatās life, isnāt it? But I can tell you, the good is there. š Itās always there! The situations we walk through donāt have to define us or our day, but our reaction to the situations certainly does ā¦ and our reaction is always our...
info_outline Gifts Can Bring Joy, Laughter, and Sometimes Confusion :)Walking Life Together
The joy of gifts ... well, and sometimes the laughter they bring ... or in some cases, the confusion, which was the case with the bike pedals I received one year for Christmas! š In this episode I share stories of gifts I've received as well as stories shared with me by some dear friends of gifts they've received. Some of the stories are funny, while some are sweet. I pray they all give you a chuckle or warm your heart in this Christmas season. It would bless me greatly if you decide to listen in and join me on this journey! I would love to connect with you as well! Here are a few ways we...
info_outline Giving is a True BlessingWalking Life Together
In Acts 20:35, we can read something from Paulās farewell letter to the Ephesian elders. He said, āIn everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: āIt is more blessed to give than to receive.ā ā I couldnāt agree with that statement more ā¦ it is more blessed to give than to receive! Giving produces such joy! To be able to bless someone else ā¦ thereās nothing like it. When I think of the times others have blessed me by giving - whether it was a gift, a kind & encouraging word,...
info_outline Thankful ... for the Hard Times (Part 2)Walking Life Together
The perfect life. Well, no one has had that and no one ever will. That said, I do think itās important to watch our perspective on life. While itās not perfect, we certainly can make the best of it and learn to be thankful in all things. In this episode, I talk about different times in my life and some of the hard things I walked through. We all have these times. Our stories might be alike ā¦ or maybe theyāre different, but I believe we are similar in that weāve all faced hard times and we all have a choice about how we respond. Not only will I share the hard time but Iāll also...
info_outline Thankful ... for the Good Times (Part 1)Walking Life Together
November and thankfulness go together like peanut butter and jelly ... so I had to take the month of November to share some good times in my life that I'm thankful for! From kid haircuts to crashing a bike into the side of a house ... yes, these stories that bring laughter are something I'm thankful for. As you go about this month, take time to reflect on your life. I know life can be hard but I believe we all have some good times we can be thankful for. ā¤ļø So please join me and let's share our thankfulness together! I would love to connect with you! Here are a few ways we can talk: ...
info_outline When What Really Matters Is Revealed, What Are We Doing Then?Walking Life Together
Storms shake up our lives. Sometimes what is revealed after the storm settles is a revelation we need. Do we learn from what we see and grow through it or after the dust settles, do we go back to the way things were? I'd like to say I learn all the time! LOL. But, that just isn't true. I usually gain a more clear perspective of what's important in life directly after a time of affliction or suffering, but I don't always hold on to that new (and often better) perspective. It slips away as life keeps on moving. Join me today as I discuss this topic. I'd also love to connect with you! Here are a...
info_outline After the Shaking, We Often See What Really MattersWalking Life Together
I walked into the ultrasound room for my normal check up ā¦ or it was supposed to be a ānormalā check up. The amazing woman who had provided the ultrasound on a few previous occasions placed the cold gel on my stomach and started rolling the ultrasound wand over my belly. I didnāt notice anything at first. Providing ultrasounds wasnāt my day job so nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me, plus it had been 10 years since Iād had ultrasounds on a āregular pregnancy basisā during my pregnancy with my son. So all seemed normal to me. Cindy, the ultrasound lady, asked a few...
info_outline There's a Reason For Our SufferingWalking Life Together
Today I will talk about suffering. Waitā¦please don't click off this episode! I know, itās not a fun or exciting topic but I believe thereās a purpose for our suffering. So, hang with me for a short time! I promise it will be worth it! š We'll look at a few verses and what the Bible says about suffering and I also share a short story I read recently that relates to suffering. (And, just a quick side note about stories that I need to share. Stories are so good! Take time to share stories with people. Stories bring us closer and make us relatable! Weāre more alike than we are...
