Welcome to episode #34 of the Fierce Calling Podcast with guest Laurie Stroup Smith.

The burden we women often carry is feeling we're supposed to be the fixers of everything, right?

Well friend, we can't fix everything and that's a good thing.

In today's episode I'm talking with my friend Laurie Troup Smith. Laurie is an amazing woman of God, wife to Travis, mom to two beautiful teenage daughters, and she's an author of Amish fiction.

But we're not just talking about her Amish fiction, we're talking about other things life brings--hard things, like grief, aging parents, and difficult decisions.

I know what Laurie has to share will encourage and inspire you.

You can connect with Laurie at lauriestroupsmith.com on Facebook and Instagram

Subscribe to her email list on her website and get a free download of Chapter 1 of her book Pockets of Promise.

I'd also love to connect with you, so subscribe to my blog and when you do, you'll receive my Fear Fighting Scripture Verses as my gift to you.

I'd like to leave you with this encouraging passage of scripture found in Colossians:

"So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity." Colossians 3:12-14

I hope you'll join me next time when I talk with another woman who is taking action where her passion, compassion, and conviction intersect.

Until then friend, have a blessed week and I'll talk to you soon...
