Our girl, Rebekah Lyons, is back! If you know Rebekah then you know she's all about rhythms in your life, taking inventory of what's working and what's not and today she's sharing with us when and how to say yes to God in the legit surrendered way not the obligated, mopey "yes" that we often think or hear of. What if it was a joy to say yes to God. It might be for you, and that is amazing sis! But, many times, when we sit in quiet and ask what the Lord has for us, we can be frightened by his answer, confused by his answer or not hear his answer at all. If you feel like this, then this episode was made with you in mind. "A Surrendered Yes: 52 devotions to let go and live free" is Rebekah's news devotional and it is an amazing, practical way to walk through what we're talking about today.
