This week, I’m sharing my biggest AHA moment of 2025 so far: no matter how much we plan, God’s plan will always prevail. We often stress and try to control everything, but God’s plan is always bigger and better than we could have ever imagined. The truth is, we don’t know as much as we think we do, and there’s always room for more growth. In this episode, I share my experience with letting go of control and learning to trust the journey. If you’re a control freak like me or an over-planner, this one’s for you! Learn how letting go of anxiety and trusting God’s plan can bring peace and purpose into your life. In this episode: Why God’s plan always prevails Why you shouldn’t stress or over complicate your goals How to let go of control How to trust your purpose Here is my favorite quote from this episode: "The brainstorming, and the planning, and the worrying, and the anxiety, and the controlling, and all of those things are a lack of trust, not only in God, but in our own purpose, in our own abilities.” - Kim Gravel Exciting news!
