00:00:01 --> 00:00:05 A worthy tip for wellness and wisdom on this Wednesday,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 all from an unexpected source.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:08 Tune in.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13 Hello,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:29 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48 If you've listened for very long, you know I read a lot.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52 I'm 63% through book number 68 for the year.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 It's called Firefly by C.C.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56 Warrens.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01 The female protagonist's grandmother passed along some wise

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 words to her in the

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 midst of a major trial and crisis of faith.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08 When I read her advice,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:13 I knew I had to share those words with you as a way to help

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 calm those moments of overwhelm.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:17 She said,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 when you feel overwhelmed,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 focus your mind on one thing,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:28 one thing you can control in that moment and put everything else aside.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 In our first episode together,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 I said that sometimes it's moment by moment,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 then hour by hour and day by day.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 So in those moments that threaten to overwhelm us,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 take this grandmother's advice.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 I've used this tip before in my own life.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 I like to pretend whatever chaos is surrounding me,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59 I'm like Peter when he walked out on the water to Jesus.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 If I just focus on Jesus,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08 never once taking my eyes off of him to glance at the scary storm,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10 I can make it.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15 And before I know it, he's calmed the storm.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18 That's reflected in today's Momoism,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19 which says,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 focus on the way,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23 not the waves.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28 Is there a time when you've narrowed your focus to eliminate the chaos?

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31 Chime in with your story below.
