190. Looking Back to See How God Is Always Working

Strong. Confident. His. with Kim Dolan Leto

For those who've ever felt the weight of unanswered prayers or questioned their calling, this episode is for you. As a sister in faith, I want to inspire and motivate you to recognize that your dreams are not impossible with God.

I was praying about how to end the 2023 podcast season. It took a moment of pause and reflection to see I needed to share God’s hand over every minute of the last 12 months.

***Make sure to LISTEN for 5 scriptures you need for your goals in 2024.

I'm not one to boast, but I feel compelled to acknowledge how God carried me through 2023. Battling feelings of being too old or too late, I chose to turn away from the devil's lies and follow the path laid out by Jesus. With only an assistant working a few hours a week, a supportive husband, and an amazing best friend, it's truly been just me, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit navigating the journey.

As I sat down to record this podcast, I had no script, but what emerged was a message of hope through my testimony. Now, I invite you to reflect on your own 2023. Grab a piece of paper, open a journal, or use your phone to jot down the moments when God's hand was evident in your life.

Faith Fuel for 2024

• May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13 (ESV)
• But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31(ESV)
• Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1(ESV)
• Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Romans 12:12(ESV)
• Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 (ESV)

Remember, as we look back, let's dream again with hopeful expectations for what God will do with willing hearts and faith-filled belief.
