Ep43~ I've Gotta Have Faith

Man Shopping with Stacie

I'm often asked if I'm scared to grow old and die alone? My answer is always "NO!". A huge source of my peacefulness and optimism for my future is my faith.
This is an inclusive podcast, so if you believe in any higher power, I hope it resonates with you too.
I believe in love. I believe that God has chosen a compatible match for me. I am patient. I will not settle for a relationship that is not a good match. That wouldn't be fair for either of us.
In this episode, I share how my faith has provided me with strength, hope, and courage throughout my divorce and time as a single person. I walk in faith every day and am never alone because God is always there. I challenge you to think about your faith and how it can transform your outlook on life.
I share a powerful story from my stepdad, Barry. His story make a firm point that we must first find forgiveness, healing, and work on ourselves before we can be a good partner for someone else. Skipping this step will likely lead to more heartache for everyone involved.
Admittedly, I've made plenty of bad decisions in life. I've made bad choices that have led to a lot of pain. I'm still learning, seeking forgiveness, and developing myself into a better person.
Lastly, I share another wise lesson from Barry about what he calls "The big lie". "The big lie" is what we tell ourselves and others... "I'll be more fit. I'll be a better parent. I'll be more responsible with money. I'll be sober .... ONCE I'm in a relationship or IF I find a partner. I've lived this big lie and I bet a lot of you have too.
I hope that this podcast makes you think. I hope you examine how your faith can bring you more hope, more peace, and more optimism.
