Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is an invitation to reflect on the power of a willing yes and the heart posture that allows us to truly partner with God. We continue our Christmas scripture study in Luke 1:38, sitting with Mary’s response to the angel Gabriel: “I am the Lord’s servant… may your word to me be fulfilled.” As we approach the close of the year and look ahead to what’s next, this verse invites us to examine not our understanding, but our obedience. Through a devotional reading from Every Day in His Presence by Pastor Charles Stanley, we’re reminded that God’s plans are not centered on our comfort—but on His kingdom—and that simple, trusting obedience opens the door for Him to move in astounding ways. If you’ve ever felt hesitant to say yes because you didn’t have all the details, or found yourself wrestling with questions, control, or the desire to stay comfortable, this episode will gently encourage your heart. Together, we reflect on how faith grows when we trust God with the next step—even when the path isn’t clear—and how choosing a faithful, willing heart can lead to deeper growth, healing, and purpose. As we prepare for a new season, this conversation will help you discern where God may be inviting you to say yes again and walk forward with courage, trust, and surrendered faith.  📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order your “For The Soul” Prayer Journal: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join the Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.
