Friends, you are going to LOVE Emily. She’s wise, and wonderful, and has this way of calming us down and helping us clear space in our hearts and in our minds so that we can figure out where we’re going, what God’s saying to us, and what we need to do next.
This conversation helped me take the deepest breath, and feel so much more calm and confident about my future, and I have a feeling you’re going to feel the exact same way.
In our conversation we’re talking about:
How to make big decisions in our lives (how to know what God has for us, where we’re supposed to go, what we’re supposed to do next).
