God wanted my attention. He really did.In 72 hours, two different people had shared Hebrews 12:1-2 with me. The passage says, "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Our Christian lives are likened to a race, and it is a long-distance run, not a sprint. To finish the race, we simply must be unencumbered by extra weight.What weight are we carrying that is hindering our race? Are we getting tired? Restless? In a relationship that puts our fire out?Today on our lagniappe edition, we take a close look at REAL LIFE - the things that slow us down - and we have some real talk about what to do about it!(RAR2026EP43)

Join us for our next installment in Proverbs 31!!

The woman of strength in Proverbs 31 is a woman who has priorities, and also the grit to meet the needs of her family and others. The reason ultimately is that she understands the Biblical principle outlined in Colossians 3:23-24, "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."Turn your Bibles to Proverbs 31 as we explore the second installment in our series on the woman of great mental and emotional strength!!(RAR2026EP38)
