Conquer Stress and Find the Joy (Ep. 20)

Hello every one of you! This is my 20th episode with you. I want to note that
you can find me first on dianahudgins.com, on Apple and Google Podcasts, on
Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible and about every social media platform
there is. Simply search for my name and or this podcast Life, it’s a Big Faith
Journey. So now on to business of wishing you a very Blessed Thanksgiving, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! In podcast 18 I spoke about gearing
ourselves towards our new year’s resolutions a bit ahead of time and adding in
more joy and less stress into our holiday season. I felt it deserved more
attention  so I wanted to go a bit further into it in this podcast. Please share
this podcast with others. There is special message at the end. 

Here we are into the holiday season a time for family and friends. No desire for
drama but find it is often times hard to accommodate everyone’s wishes. Its such
a busy time and there is much time spent planning and shopping and preparing to
find it is all gone in a matter of what seems like moments, completely gone
overall in day or two. Feeling rushed and frustrated and tired most time during
the season who in the world will find the time to simply enjoy this time of
year? You are!  I have some tips for you today to make your holiday season a
more positive one. The question keeps coming up about whether or not you have
your Christmas decor up before Thanksgiving. I say why not combine the both
after all I think we need to learn to be thankful for what we already have as we
go into a time of giving and receiving. Have you ever heard the saying that we
should have Christmas all year? That spirit should be the theme of our lives.
What people need to realize is this comes from your heart not your pocket book.
It comes from your peace and your joy not your stress level or the need to
impress anyone. I am reminding you to shake it off and be free.

Life, it's a Big Faith Journey

Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the
path of life. The power of your life is in your words and your thoughts, so
chose them well and give life by thinking and speaking them well of others too.
Be a life giver and a life changer. Let it begin in you. I'm speaking directly
to you regardless of who you are or how old you are, from my heart to yours. My
testimony in this life is faith. When I truly surrendered to God it began with
giving everything I had to him and it was no small task, it was all about having
really big faith, believing Him without a doubt. I had to believe Him for
everything. I challenge you to get out of your comfort zone. As for me I want to
do something so big it's destine to fail without You Lord, something so great
it's gonna take a miracle to do. I want to be like Peter who walked on water! I
hear God saying "Diana, get out of the boat!" For me my faith is all or nothing!
By believing I have nothing to loose so I am all in. "The tongue has the power
of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs
18:21.Which words will you chose? The positive words of life or the negative
words of death? Those negative words that steal, kill and destroy life. The
power of your life is in your words, so speak them well and give life by
speaking them well of others too. Be an encourager.We must not be afraid when it
matters, when it means saving and changing lives we must speak boldly and
sometimes bluntly if we want to make a difference in this world. More often
times than not it takes courage and putting our vulnerability out there to save
a life or two or three. And when evangelist Eva Dooley touched my lips and
prophesied over me she said "You have been silent, but you will be silent no
more" that is exactly what she meant. She's right, I am silent no more. Praise
God! - Diana Hudgins
