Hey friends, welcome to the Rhythms for Life Podcast where each week we talk about four rhythms

that help you reduce stress and anxiety and take charge of your emotional health. Rest,

restore, connect, create. These ideas come from Rebecca's best-selling book,

Rhythms of Renewal, trading stress and anxiety for a life of peace and purpose. So grab your

copy, invite your friends and let's live in rhythm.

Welcome back I'm Rebecca and I'm Gabe and we are so excited about today. I know we're kind of

makes his plan but God directs his steps and there's a diligence and a wisdom to planning and

to observing and the process that Pete took me through 20 years ago took Rebecca through a decade

Pete believes and we'll talk about this that every one of us has an assignment and when you start
