Laughing Over Tomorrow

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from trying to get it right. The right words, the right move, the right motive underneath , and then the second-guessing that circles back around. It torments. And most of us have quietly learned to call that humility, when really it's just us trying to be good enough, and neglecting where real boldness comes from: his our righteousness in Christ. This pattern of fear can be characterized by accusation and fear, but you were made right. Not on your way to right if you can keep your motives clean enough, but made right, already, in Him. His righteousness is what you put on in the morning, and you didn't generate it on your own and you don't have to do anything to keep it. The moment it becomes about your works, it quietly becomes about you, and fear takes the lead. There is freedom for you to put on God's righteousness and live with a confidence that's 100% given to you as a gift. Know that every action, thought, idea, motive: anything given to him is a purified offering, submitted to his sanctification. YOU are right.

Over 10 years ago God gave me the name "Laughing Over Tomorrow" and after marriage, 4 kids, homeschooling, and building two businesses, He has been laying the foundation for what's next. In this episode I talk about the story that birthed Laughing Over Tomorrow and the deeper work that God has been doing in the last 10 years. Many bunny trails that appear throughout this episode are those topics we'll dive into deeper in future episodes — reflections on relationship with Jesus, intimate conversations that will equip moms, strategy and anchoring for spirit-filled business owners, and prophetic worship moments unpacked. It's all pointing to one thing: life and peace in the Spirit becoming your reality.

Godly Self-Care is a topic that’s important to God because it allows us the opportunity to engage with Him in how we care for ourselves, and ultimately how He cares for us. Asking Jesus to Shepherd our hearts in self-care is a crucial part of discipleship and fullness in our lives in Christ. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/laughingovertomorrow/support
