Summary

Guest Bio: Anh Lin is an interior stylist and the founder of the cozy online shop, TheHoogaShop.com. She is a debut author with her new book, Forever Home, and she is now living with her husband and corgi in a renovated fixer-upper.

Show Summary: Have you ever looked at a space and felt excited by all of the work that needs to be done on it? Maybe you renovated your home, decorated an apartment, or even organized your car trunk in a cute way for all of the running around you do. What if we looked at our hearts as rooms with potential? What if we saw healing as internally renovating? Anh Lin was in the midst of renovating and designing a new home when the Lord opened her eyes to see how the process was similar to our internal healing process. Join hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they talk with Anh about seeing the possibilities for our healing during this God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes:

“You don’t have to go big to feel the impact of a changed environment.” —Anh Lee
“Surround ourselves with people that are for us, that support us, that are trauma-informed, walk through it with us, and most importantly show us that there is a reality outside of what we think is possible for us.” —Anh Lee
“Find community—it’s more healing than you think.” —Anh Lee
“It was as if God was saying, ‘You can leave this memory because I’m staying here with her. I’m going to save her one day.’” —Anh Lee
“There’s no shame being where [you] are at mentally, and God can handle [your] timing, [your] pacing because He’s a very patient God. He’s a gentle Father.” —Anh Lee
“For the woman who is feeling so isolated, so misunderstood, know that God is going to continue being active in your life, loving you in ways you might not see now, but will eventually see His fingerprints on all the times you’ve been hurting.” —Anh Lee
