Is it possible to miss God’s purpose for your life?
This is what Tracey Gates wondered as the years went by while she raised her children and worked odd jobs. She knew God had made her for more, but could she have missed it? Tracey always had a dream in her heart to write a book but she had no idea how to begin or what the topic would be. It didn’t seem urgent at the time. The idea would come up in conversation with a friend or her spouse but there was never enough clarity to move forward.
IF you’vE wondered if you could miss god’s plan, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!
In her 40s, Tracey’s dream was still there. By the time she reached her 50s, she realized that the comfort she once felt about this someday-dream to write a book no longer felt comfortable. It was actually frightening.
As you listen to this episode, pay close attention to what Tracey’s story can teach you about finding your unique calling and purpose, including:
✨ How to overcome fear and find the courage to write,
❤️ The transformative power of daily acts of kindness, and
🗝️ Two questions that were the key to unlocking & discovering her full purpose.
This encouraging podcast episode is for any Christian woman in search of encouragement about how to use your skills, talents and experience for the big dreams God has planted in your heart.
