Send Amy a Text Message.If you are like me you start the summer with a huge task list and lots of ideas about what you would like to accomplish over the summer. Maybe you want to clean out your garage or closet. Maybe you want to visit a friend to take a vacation. Sometimes women can focus on weight loss and eating clean, but most of the time we focus on what we should NOT be doing instead of looking at what we want to be doing. In this episode I share a few secrets for summer success by reframing the way we think about summer goals. If you are a woman looking for a boost to find your own purpose and identity in Christ - this episode is going to encourage you and give some practical ways you can start seeing change in your life. I pray this blesses you!

Send Amy a Text Message.Does your prayer life seem flat lately? Maybe you feel like God is just too far away to hear you... Well, guess what? Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know..." God wants to show you HIS plans for your life, HIS intentions for what he has in store for your future, your circumstances, and even your emotional instability, at times. However, lots of times we approach prayer with an "ask" but not stick around for the answer... we make prayer about the "thing" and not about relationship with Jesus. This episode is about more than just presenting our requests to God... It's about developing connection and how to have a great conversation with God. Enjoy!

Send Amy a Text Message.Are you stuck in a loop of wondering what others are thinking about you? Are you someone who doesn't like to share your opinion because you are afraid of what someone else might say in response? Do you find yourself wanting other people to approve your actions and decisions before God? When we begin to inflate and over-value the opinions and imagined judgments of othersWe are not living in reality and freedom and joy that God says is possible when we seek HIM first!!
