#233 Don’t be an Egg Thief: 5 Steps in Staying True to Yourself

The Full Weight of Joy: Empowering Christian Moms to Create, Design, and Launch a Purpose-Aligned Business and Life

What would you do if you found an egg in the middle of your floor? A whole, real, fresh egg? You would question it, right? But then you remember you have kids, so you don’t question it very long. Well, we found an egg in the middle of our floor, and the kids have been at camp for days…so it wasn’t them…

In today’s podcast, I dive into a topic that I think is important to acknowledge, recognize, and talk about. It happens to all of us, and if we aren’t careful, it could cause us to feel guilty or—worse—work harder than we need to because we are not in alignment with who God created us to be. It’s about the slow fade.

I mentioned the song “Slow Fade” by Casting Crowns (I don’t know how I didn’t remember the artist!)

The slow fade…how we start off with the best intentions, characteristics, boundaries, values, habits, priorities, motivation…on and on…and then we decide that it’s okay to break it one time.

Ladies- when we are doing God’s work its important that we stay connected to Him and put in rumble strips and recognize when we are getting off track. Its going to happen- but the faster we catch it the less we have to adjust to come back to it! Let’s do this!
