087. Carried by Living Waters: Embrace the Peace of Maundy Thursday

Author: Heidi Fitzsimmons - Inspirational Writer & Podcaster April 17, 2025 Duration: 10:27
Hello, Beautiful! Surrender. Stillness. Trust.   Letting go is never easy—but it’s often where healing begins.   This Maundy Thursday, we’re entering the sacred stillness before the cross—a tender pause between what was and what’s about to be.   Inspired by my original poem As a River Flows, this episode invites you to surrender, embrace trust, and let God’s presence carry you like a river flowing with grace.   You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to stop clinging—and let Him carry you.   🌿 In this episode, we’ll explore: ✔️ What Maundy Thursday teaches us about surrender ✔️ How to trust God’s current through life’s shifting seasons ✔️ Why letting go is the first step toward renewal   ✨ “Whoever believes in me… rivers of living water will flow from within them.” – John 7:38   📖 Want to go deeper?
