Reality Reflections With Kendra Von Esh

I am sometimes pretty proud of myself and that is not good. I struggle with humility and pray for it all the time. It is the basis of ALL the virtues, so if you want to grow in other virtues, ya gotta work on this one first!  Check out what I mean in this 5 minute podcast! Need help praying?

We all need help with things in our lives and especially with our spiritual journey! Why is it that we aren't all the comfy asking for help or feel like we are putting people out when we do ask....listen in - and be vulnerable and accept the love in return! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

God has done such amazing things for me and transformed my life - even when I didn't want to change! I am so grateful - all praise to Him for changing EVERYTHING in my life - listen in to see what I am talking about! Bless you all! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

I suck at hope sometimes. I even feel guilty when I hope for my dreams and desires to come true. But God wants us to hope and trust - listen in and see what I am talking about! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

All Christians are called to love thy neighbor as thyself - that includes people who persecute you. I had that happen to me last night and while I was shocked at the nastiness I prayed immediately, "Lord, they know not what they do...." and asked the Holy Spirit to help me love them like Jesus does. This can be your spouse, family, friends, co-workers and people you don't even know. It is super hard when it is someone you once were super close with but all we can do is "love our way through it" which is why I prayed for him and my heart to be soft last night. I'll admit - I was very hurt, shocked and felt so sorry for all the anger this person expressed. I live for an audience of ONE and I am grateful He led me to the truth and transformed my beliefs and my ways.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

Is your life seemingly out of control, no routine, one day is different from the other? I was just talking to a friend about how my life is whacky and shared the the only thing keeping me in sane is my relationship with the Holy Spirit and the peace He showers on me! Check it out - because I used to run toward a whole lot of DESTRUCTIVE behaviors to calm my anxieties and fears... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

So, I had to trust the Holy Spirit today to guide me, to lead me and to make sure I said what He wanted me to say - in a whole NEW way! I met with quite a few people about Faith Coaching and what it would mean if we partnered together on the journey. Every single person is in a different place, every person is very much wanting to get closer to God and I talked to the Holy Spirit all day long. It is so important that I listen and get prompted from Him to say things (or NOT say things) so that I can help bring them to a deeper relationship with God.  THAT IS MY MISSION - and I cannot do it FOR Him - I must do it WITH Him. I was a complete child - "Is this right, Holy Spirit, am I doing that right, Holy Spirit, do you want me to say this - uh, okay - I won't - what about that....?" I was ON FIRE and this is how we should be living every single day. But, as the Gospel shouted at me this morning, we must all have the childlike trust and be perpetual learners! :)  --- Support this podcast: https://anc

Today's Gospel is a grim reminder of our actions and what we are called to do - Jesus firmly says "If you do not repent, you will be damned..." not a direct quote, but listen in to this episode because I did NOT want to change a THING about my life! God, however, has given me the graces to do what I did not want to do....and He can do that for you, too. Your soul's eternal rest is at stake...yeah, this is a heavy one! And here is a link about Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and the Brown Scapular for those who want to learn more about this amazing gift from Mary.  Got mine on right now - always! :) https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm?date=2019-07-16   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

We all want to have amazing miracles and graces in our lives NOW, don't we?

How you act and what you say is truly how you best evangelize! Sharing what God has done in your life and those you know is also very important. And one of the most obvious ways to do that is to forgive people who have wronged you. Yep, not only to show the love of Jesus through you but also because God said He will NOT forgive YOU unless YOU forgive OTHERS. Listen in to see how you can do this, too. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

I haven't spent much time in silence with God lately and when I walked into the Adoration Chapel, I heard Him say, "Hey girl, it's been a while, where have you been?"
