23. Living an Unexpected Life

Family Announcement from Haley!

Do you have a preconceived idea about what victory is supposed to look like?I know for me, I used to have this idea that victory was a very clear and true win. It was when God would place an idea on my heart, I start walking the journey of that adventure and then it ends how I would it expect it to win. Here's the thing though...saying yes to God's call on you doesn't mean that you will receive the victory that you thought you would.We have to remember what the true victory is when we follow God's call on our life, and that is now always what we expect it to be.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

Do you feel discouraged in your walk with God? Do you feel like you know what God has called you to do but seem to hit obstacle after obstacle? Do you get excited about what God has for you and then struggle to stay focused once the week gets going? I get it! I have created the "Taking My Adventure" Community for women who WANT to do what God has for them, but are struggling to stay on track each week. This is what I wish I had 8 years ago!Join me at TakingMyAdventure.comI can't wait to help you finally get the progress you were born for!

What role does struggle play in the adventure God has for you?It's easy to think that after we act on an idea that God has given us, that things will be easy, successful and that we cannot fail because this is from God. I'm sorry to tell you, this isn't always the case.I have found that when we act on the big ideas, the ones directly correlated with the call God has placed on our life, we will face struggle...and a lot of it. Possibly the most struggle we have experienced in our life. The struggle can begin to make us question if we heard God correctly or if we are even on the right path. The beautiful part is that you were literally created to conquer these struggles. And when you do conquer them, you come one step closer to fully stepping into the adventure God created you for.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

What does it take to build a strong family, no matter the size, circumstances and/or experiences that have impacted your adventure with God?Today we have an audience favorite back on, my mom Shelly! She shares her adventure in becoming a mother to several of us kids, what that revealed within her about the healing she needed and the impacts that had on her relationship with God. No adventure is the same. We all have our experiences that have led to where we are in life. We all have past experiences that have a part in who we are and how we make choices. But Shelly is going to reveal to us the one element that helped her dig deep to build and grow her strong family.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

Every adventure starts with this one simple thing....It will introduce itself to you. It will revisit you. It will catch you off guard. It will surprise you and make you uncomfortable.I'm talking about an idea. God sends ideas our way to keep us connected to our purpose and our adventure. We then have the choice to foster that idea or say no thanks. Both choices come with a cost and consequences, but only one leads us to our true adventure that God created for us.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

Have you ever had one of those intense seasons of life where it feels like everything around you is crumbling?This week, my sister-in-law shares the details of one of the most intense seasons of her life. The life that she thought she was building came crashing down and to a complete halt, leading her to a life that she didn't see coming.Are you squeezing the bar of soap? (you'll have to listen in to know the answer to this one)Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

Look at your habits. I'm talking about your morning routines, what you do at the end of a busy day, what choices you make throughout the day, etc...How many of these habits do you believe can be matched with the adventure and call that God has placed in your heart?Today, I want to share more with you about the "One Idea Rule." It has given me so many AHA moments about what tasks fulfill me in life and what tasks drain me. It's such a great starting place to understanding if we are heading in the direction of the adventure God has for us!Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

What did you think your adventure would look like?For this episode, my sister Ivy joins me on the podcast and shares how her adventure turned into something very different from what she originally imagined. With a naturally adventurous personality and a known desire to travel, every vision she had of her adventure for her life ended up looking much different than she anticipated.Adventure can have so many different forms, which I think is sometimes why we can struggle to identify our adventure or we don't even recognize it until we have been through and made it past some things in our life.Does your adventure for your life look as you had expected it to?Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

Are you actually seeking clarity? Like actively seeking it for your life and for this year?I created Redemption Unveiled 8 years ago. 8 YEARS!! And I had no idea why other than I just knew that was something God wanted me to do. Without much understanding as to why or what or even how, I continued on, seeking clarity from God. Where was this blog going? Why do I have a blog? You get the point.It wasn't until about a year ago...and a year after turning this into a podcast I might add....that I was finally given clarity on why God led me down this path. That was 8 years of active seeking. How long have you been actively seeking God's purpose in your life?Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled
