Hey There, Mama!
Welcome to the Front Parking Spot Podcast!
It seems like yesterday when I was taking all three of my daughters (ages 6,4,2) to a local amusement park. I had a year pass, so why not? Driving up, the parking lot was packed. It seemed I needed to head for the back. I decided to take a chance, and I went for the front parking spots, and guess what? There wasn't one but two open spots! I zipped into one of them and unloaded. A life theme had just begun. So many people settle for the back spots, but it's usually available if you take a chance and go for the front parking spot. How does this relate to your life? In every way imaginable with God at the helm. So, live by Ephesians 3:20 and go for the front parking spot in your life today. If you take the chance and go for it, you'll be amazed at how the opportunities will open up!
