It's like, I'm, I'm not sorry that I'm doing hard work and I'm setting boundaries. I'm not sorry that I'm doing things that will help me reap and sew later on, I'm not sorry for those things.

you're listening to the unapologetically unstoppable podcast, it's about going deep into who you are made to be. And following that, no matter what, where your calling is in the front seat, and fear, well, it's trying to stop you. But fuck that guy, and getting the tools and tips to become an unstoppable. I'm your host, Jeanette Peterson, where not too long ago, I had to find my calling. Here you'll hear from me and other online experts on how to discover your calling, the steps to make it happen, and how to monetize it. I believe when we're unapologetic about our calling, we become an unstoppable expansive force. So let's get started.

Hey, girl, hey. So I got a little cold or something. It's early in the morning, and we're about to embark on a road trip. And there's a Bible verse. It's kind of on my heart this morning. And it's proverbs 16, three. And that verse says, commit to the Lord, whatever you do, and He will establish your plans. Last night, we were I was catching up on some stuff for work. And also was just hanging out with me, which felt really good. Which meant at six o'clock in the morning, we had to pack all the kids, us everything to go. I love the he sits with me while I work. But also no work gets done if I'm not involved in it, which is very annoying to me. But then I came back to this verse to match the Lord, whatever you do, and He will establish your plans, if I am not working for getting the family out if I am working towards what God has for me. And I know that God is going to bless us on this trip and that we are going to be able to see people we haven't seen in a while and fellowship with them and love them well, and all those things that I have to convince the Lord, my packing, I'm packing for God, I'm not packing because I'm pissed off and my husband didn't do this stuff last night. And that I have to do it today because I was doing something else.

I think when you're the primary breadwinner in your family, you have expectations of other people to work as hard as you do. Or at least give you the illusion that they're working as hard as you do. And I find that he takes a lot of rest. Right? That's one of the reasons I married him because he can do that. He has the ability to see joy and a lot of things and to be funny and to be light hearted and to rest. Where I don't rest, but I also enjoy working. I enjoy working hard until it feels like I'm the only one doing everything. I don't like that feeling. So I have to remember that my work is not for me. Which is why I love our movement. Our movement is unapologetically unstoppable, which is basically I am unapologetic about the things that I do and why I do them because they are for God it's like I'm I'm not sorry that I'm doing hard work and I'm setting boundaries. I'm not sorry that I'm doing things that will help me reap and sew later on. I'm not sorry for those things but I also have to remember to rest because that's what actually helps make me unstoppable when I have the space and the time to rest, and I don't feel like I'm always burning the midnight oil, which I don't always feel like sometimes I like going fast and it feels good.

But, I also like it when other people are running at the same pace as me. I don't like feeling like I'm the only one that's doing things and he's just hanging out is that that become resentful for him or anything like that. It's just like, Yo, can I just go pee without the kids screaming? Like, they weren't screaming when I was up there. And now they're screaming, can you just like, handle that for five minutes but, I'm also grateful that he's here. He can be deployed. He could be not an absentee father. I don't know. But I am grateful that he's here

so I know this is not the typical episode where I'm like super happy and pumped up and everything. I just need to recommit to the Lord, whatever I'm doing whatever I'm doing. So he get us out with my plans and blessed me according Well, not really according like because works don't matter to him. But I'm just saying
