"What's really important to you?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

I’m Life Coach to a woman whose daughter recently married. This mother of the bride understandably was nervous about a lot of things while on the way to the wedding. She thought about the typical things mothers of the bride are concerned about like would this part of the ceremony go well, would everyone do what they were supposed to, would the music sound good; those kinds of things.

So here she is, driving to the ceremony, nervous, when traffic stops. She wonders what’s wrong, and will she get to the ceremony on time. As she slowly drives on she discovers an accident. A car is on its side and another car is smashed beyond repair.

As she surveys the damage driving by, suddenly all of the things that seemed so important just a few moments before, all of the “what if’s” that she was nervous about, didn’t seem to matter. Now she prayed for the safety of those involved in the accident. Now she was grateful that none of her friends or the bridal party was hurt. A completely new perspective took over her attitude.

Listen to life today not with worry, but with an attitude of gratitude to God.
