#15 No Longer Running: Embracing God's Plan

I wanted to share an interview that I did on the Weeds, Seeds, & Beautiful Things podcast. It's my story, the in's and the out's.  It's messy, it's ugly, it's my running story. <br/><br/>How far would you go to escape the hard truths and challenges in your life? Well, I ran all the way from God and the good things in life, hiding behind a lifestyle of partying and drinking, and in the process neglecting the divine call I was receiving. It's time we had a frank discussion about our tendencies to avoid confronting the realities of life, and in this episode, I do just that with my dear friend, Connie, from Weed Seeds and Beautiful Things.<br/><br/>We talk about my journey of self-discovery and acceptance, and the transformation that took place after I stopped running from God's call. The story of how I found a different path with the help of a small church and a loving youth pastor is one that I hold close to my heart. My past experiences, however painful, had helped shape my calling, and it was time to face it head-on. Join us as we navigate through my trials and tribulations, taking a closer look at the importance of understanding and accepting God's plan for us, regardless of our circumstances.<br/><br/>In this deeply personal narrative, we also explore my calling to help women going through similar experiences. Despite my initial reluctance, I realized that my hardships had a purpose: to guide women towards overcoming their abuse and finding their purpose in life. This is a testament to the fact that, regardless of what we go through, God has a plan for us, and it is always good. So let's take off our running shoes and embrace His calling, trusting in the bigger picture He has painted for us. No more running, let's face life, and its challenges, head-on.<br/><br/>If you are interested in the Weeds Seeds & Beautiful Things you can follow them on Instagram and you can connect with the host, Constance (Connie) Lawson at www.weedsseedsbeautifulthings.com <br/><br/>Would you like to do some one-on-one coaching with Crystal?
