Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey

we were never meant to walk alone. We all need friends along the way. On the Journey Women

Podcast, we'll chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we face

on our journeys to glorify God. On today's episode of the Journey Women Podcast, I'm chatting

with my very own Brooks Beelis. Now, some of you may be new listeners and you're thinking,

who is Brooks Beelis? And actually, he's my husband of seven years as of today. Happy

anniversary, babe. Today, Brooks and I answered questions that you guys submitted on Instagram

about our love story, our family, and what our upcoming plans are for Journey Women since this

is actually the very last episode that we're going to air before my maternity leave. I can't

believe it, you guys. Don't worry, the Lord willing, we're going to be back to airing new episodes

of Journey Women in 2019. But until then, I want to share a few of my favorite moments from 2018.

Like the time I was talking to Jen Woken about the will of God, and she said this.

God, who is the God of all outcomes, is able to work with any decision that we make.

And that's what, if we look back on our lives, we typically see him doing, right? And

the decision point seems like the big moment for us. But in reality, God is always more concerned

with the decision maker, with any given decision. And so I would argue that the better question

to ask regarding God's will is not what should I do, but who should I be?

Or how about this time, when Jackie Hill Perry reminds us to remember the gospel.

Oh, what God wants me to do is to continually remember the gospel.

Yes. It bleeds from the gospel as it relates to my temptations or my desires or my trials or

my sufferings or even my victories and that even my victories, I can glory in it and be thankful for

because I have a right understanding and right knowledge of Jesus now where I can thank him
