Today’s Guest: Claire Thomas

Here’s a summary of this week’s story:

  • Both Anna and Claire discuss the idea of making life plans, like getting married or having children by a certain age. They acknowledge the reality that these plans often don't materialize as envisioned.

  • Claire emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's plan and letting go of the need to control outcomes. There's a focus on believing that, despite uncertainties, God holds everything and offers a sense of security and peace.

  • Claire speaks about the dangers of setting rigid timelines for life events. Setting specific deadlines, especially around events like fertility, led to feelings of disappointment and even depression when they weren't met.

  • Claire believes that while trusting in God is vital, it doesn't mean being passive. It's about partnering with God every day and taking actionable steps towards one's goals, without being overly attached to a specific outcome or timeframe.
