Thankful. Grateful. Hopeful. This captures this year! Thankful for my amazing family and friends! Also, I am very thankful to the Lord who continues to provide gifted healthcare practitioners this year who have helped me in my recovery from the rare head and neck cancer removed a little over a year and a half ago, and for the continued health progress, new friends, new opportunities, Pearl by Lela Rose, Seven Pathways, and much more! Wishing you a day of thankfulness, gratefulness, and hopefulness!

In a culture of perpetual noise and bombarding us with thousands upon thousands of images a day, the spike in the number of women experiencing anxiety is not surprising.

In an article in The New Yorker, David Owen details how researchers are growing progressively concerned about the ever-increasing littering of the "soundscape." According to Bruitparif, a nonprofit organization monitoring noise pollution, people who live in a constant state of elevated levels of sound pollution have higher levels cortisol, the primary stress hormone leading to an increased risk of these physiological and physical problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep problems, weight gain, diabetes, anxiety, depression, digestive problems, and more.

Not only do we struggle with external noise, but also with internal noise. You may be eager to hear the voice of God, but you may be frustrated by the onslaught of internal noise.

God offers us a daily practice in the Bible of silence before Him as a solution to:

reduce your stress,
calm your whole being,
produce greater self-awareness in relationship to God, others, and the world,
better focus which leads to better decision making,
wisdom in when to speak and when to be silent,
confidence that God is ultimately able to work through your mistakes,
and security that God loves you on your good days and bad days.

Interested in learning more about how to engage in the practice of silence for the purpose of connecting with God, go to sevenpathways.com to learn more from the author and Dallas Theological Seminary graduate, and buy her two books on Seven Pathways or experience the Seven Pathways digital Bible study and meditations.

Grateful to be interviewed on Pastor Jim Wood's podcast who founded a special place called Wears Valley Ranch in the beautiful Smokey Mountains. I always enjoy sharing about the impact of Seven Pathways in my life and the gift that these pathways are in one's spiritual journey to a meaningful relationship with God. These timeless, ancient practices will help you slow down, connect, and get refreshed to face life's challenges.

Pastor Wood and his staff have created a special place providing year-round homes for children from crisis situations for over 30 years, education through their school, St. Andrew's School, and then a christian sports camp, Camp Arrowwood for children, ages 8-14. If you are looking for a great organization to give to or for volunteer projects that your family or small group or church group might join there are many opportunities. Check out the Wears Valley Ranch to learn more: https://wvr.org/ and our conversation below on his podcast, Abiding in Christ.

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope though the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3

“I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross. The only God I believe in is the One Nietzsche ridiculed as ‘God on the cross.’ In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?” John Stott

So thrilled to be interviewed earlier this week by my old friend, Eric Metaxas who is a best selling author of Wilberforce, Bonhoeffer, Is Atheism is Dead?, Letter to the American Church, and others on The Eric Metaxas Radio Show to discuss my new book, Seven Pathways! I greatly enjoyed our lively discussion with a friend who is a trusted voice of truth in our culture, and I am so grateful for the opportunity! The Seven Pathways approach provides a framework to help people grow in their faith and experience the presence of God in their daily lives.

Check out my interview with Eric below, and please feel free to share. And if you have not already, follow Seven Pathways on FB and IG and go to the website, sevenpathways.com to engage in these ancient, practical Biblical practices which are a gift from God to find confidence in a hope that anchors you through difficult times and informs how you live as it activates your faith.

Get your ho, ho on,
Shine like Rudolph,
Work hard like the elves,
Warm your heart with hot cocoa,
And love like Jesus.

Merry Christmas from Seven Pathways!
