Finding Peace & Purpose Amidst Autumn's Transformation
christian women resources finding peace gratitude stress relief stress relievers Oct 25, 2024
Welcome to October, Women Warriors!
How are you finding your way through this autumn? Are you feeling the weight of stress amidst life's battles, or are you soaking in the joy of fall's vibrant hues? Perhaps your days are a mix, oscillating between tranquility and tension—I certainly experience that too.
We have been busy with Masterclasses this month helping women step into what God is calling them to do and an 8-Week Starting a Podcast from Scratch. It has been a miracle to see so many women move forward with faith in a season of change.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4:6-7
A fellow Christian woman recently shared an insightful thought: October heralds the season of change, transitioning us from summer into fall, cultivating gratitude, and leading us into the Christmas season.
Have the upcoming holidays barely crossed your mind amidst your bustling schedule? We've got a wonderful resources for you to help you feel more peace this holiday season:
Resources for More Peace
- Our Bible, Women and Bathrobes podcast just started a series where we are covering the Voices of the Nativity as we enter the holiday season. So far we have loved covering Elizabeth & Zacharias as well as Mary, the mother of Jesus and her call by the angel Gabriel. Subscribe and listen as every Tuesday we discuss the miracles and the amazing witnesses surrounding the Savior's birth. It will help you feel peace amidst the hustle when you are reminded of the miracles surrounding the Nativity from long ago.
- Struggle with prioritizing what is most important? Check out this episode of our podcast, "Which Treasures Can Bring Peace & Happiness?" where Tamara Anderson and Kari Anjewierden discuss Matthew 6:19-21 emphasizing the importance of prioritizing God and heavenly treasures over worldly things to find peace and happiness in life.
- Need some stress relief? Check out this blog: Stress-Relief Hacks: Find Peace Amid Life's Storms for some amazing and relevant tips.
- If you are feeling unsettled because you feel God calling you to act, check out the replay of our amazing webinar, "The Courage to Be You: 3 Steps Toward Your Divine Purpose." As you step into your calling, you will feel the peace of God guiding you to become a better you shining your light in your unique way.
Peace, a gift of God's Spirit, offers us hope and meaning as we navigate this season of change, gearing up for year-end tasks, school assignments, or the general increase in activities. It encourages us to be fully present in the moment.
October, in its essence, is a gift. It prepares us, primes us for the upcoming challenges and joys with a heart full of grace. My prayer is that we welcome this month with open hearts, embracing all the blessings it brings and the goodness we can share.
We pray that this will be the beginning of a beautiful, blessed season of abundance for you and those whose lives you touch.
With sisterhood and faith,
Tamara K. Anderson
