Welcome back To the Table. Jenna & I are back to continue the conversation from last week. If you’re triggered by the title, so sorry 🙃 Saying “no” can be so tricky. We like to hold onto the control that “yes” gives us. But, if you’re anything like me, you know how hard it is to do something that you should have said “no” to. It’s weighty, burdensome, and exhausting. If the Lord has called you to it, he’ll give you exactly what you need to accomplish it. We can walk in freedom because the Holy Spirit lives within us, equipping us “with everything good that [we] may do his will” (Heb. 13:21).

2 Timothy 1:7 - for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6,11 - Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone...All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

Romans 12:4-6a - For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them...

Matthew 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Welcome back To the Table. AND welcome to our summerseries, the lies we believe and the truth to replace them. Our dear friend, Makenzie Williams, is joining us for this week’s conversation. We’re chatting about why we don’t have to do it all (I mean, we really can’t anyways) and how to live a life full of doing the things we need to do and letting go of what we can’t control – which is everything 😂 Big stuff we’re tackling here, but even more of a reason to talk about it. We all wrestle with this in some way, and I can say, it was encouraging to hear how other mamas are fighting against it. So, grab something to write with and come join us for this week’s episode.

And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answeredher, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

Welcome back To the Table. We’re wrapping up a season, literally and figuratively. As the seasons change, and as we change, the Lord grows us. He reveals himself to us. He teaches us through his word and the wisdom of others. We’re not just laying the foundation of our faith, we’re building on it. We’re trusting him because he has always been faithful. We’re leaning into the Holy Spirit’s prompting because we’re getting better at listening – somewhat. We’re growing. He’s shaping us into what he wants us to be - who he wants us to become. So, changing seasons may be hard, but it is not for nothing.

Ephesians 3:14-21 - For this reason I bow my knees beforethe Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earthis named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
