As we pack our bags and head off to Rome with our oldest two sons, I'm reflecting, again, on how quickly plans can change.  Just last week, we learned about the passing of Pope Francis, and in a moment, everything about our trip shifted. My old instinct would have been to get worried, disheartened, and feel inconvenienced.  I would have tried to whiteknuckle my way through what God was willing for us, which would have totally wrecked my already busy week, and our trip. In today's episode, I'm sharing how to stop resisting reality with sheer willpower, which is draining your energy and your joy.  We'll talk about: How resistance drains your energy and hope. Why creating desire for God's will (even without proof of success) changes everything. How gratitude unlocks hope, and why it's essential. Why you can have gratitude even when you're having a hard time. Listen, friend, the saints didn't whiteknuckle their way to holiness.  They learned to want what God wanted, even when it hurt. And they found deep joy in doing so.  Grab your earbuds and join me for today's episode! Click here to learn more about Happy, Holy Mama
