4 Steps to Contentment – No skipping steps

If thriving is ever going to be an option, then we must begin where we are.  Last week we gave an effort to quieting ourselves with God.  When we do this, we open ourselves to what’s really going on.  What can often be masked by busyness comes out when we slow down and quiet ourselves.  What do we do with that? We’d love to skip right to acceptance and contentment… but there are steps and stages to navigating loss.  A Life-Bringer, Carrie Hawkins brings us up to speed on the stages of grief and offers great insights to working through the loss we have been experiencing. Catch the highlights here on the Vlog.
