By My Own Lights
Welcome, my name is Rachael and I am the creator and host of By My Own Lights, a podcast where inside thoughts are shared with the outside world. I am a verbal processor. I like reflecting on moments in my life to find the light in it all, and my hope for this podcast is that it inspires you to find the light in yours. Sometimes the lessons we learned in adversity or in joy are just too precious to keep to ourselves.
The lessons and stories shared here are not prescriptive, the world needs all kinds of kinds and I encourage you to live a life according to your own lights. This podcast is a journey through one mind, one perspective, one life that loves Jesus, one person who doesn't have it all figured out. Take a listen and if it happens to inspire you in the slightest bit, don't be shy, give it a like and a follow.

Serenity Now
Have you heard the serenity prayer before? "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference". Fun fact: That prayer was first written over 89 years ago and is still recited today by many regardless of their faith or beliefs. The prayer is powerful because it is a confession that we fight things we cannot control, that we are not brave enough to make changes, and that we lack true discernment for what is right for our life.
In today's episode I break it down line by line, and it is worth the listen because I know you have been there.
