Our belief informs our action. What we believe will always direct our next steps. So what happens when we believe something that isn’t true?

March 20, 2019 at 2:00 PMHi Emily. Thank you so much for this. I have to admit, I’ll need to listen to this episode again, probably a couple more times, because I didn’t hear anything after you started to described yourself…..because you described me. It’s sometimes hard to be a slow thinker in this fast paced world or someone that can be perceived as being fickle or unsure, because my mind will easily change. Thank you for being open and honest. And thank you for your faithfulness. Blessings. L

March 21, 2019 at 9:49 AMHi Emily. It’s so helpful to hear your perspective. I relate to the slow to process – resistance to choosing a side and love that you shared that you too, look back on things you’ve writing and wonder, what was I thinking?
Mostly I’m thankful for the way you tie the college scandle story so beautifully into looking at the way we live our own lives. It’s easy to judge others for the things they do in life, but much better if we can use their actions as a reminder to do better in our own. Thank you!
