Hello, my beautiful friends. My name is Angela Lawley. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m so happy to share my life and a little about myself with you. I have been married for 24 years to my college sweetheart Ryan, and I have two adult sons, Nicholas and Aiden, ages 23 and 18. <\/p>\n

My husband and I own our business teaching music lessons to children and some adults. It has been my joy to connect with moms throughout the years. That\u2019s how my Ministry, Giving Hope<\/em>, started\u2014the outreach to moms coming into our music store. I got to know them, we connected, and I have had an open door to minister to them. God moved in our business and Giving Hope<\/em>. We shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with many families over the years.\u00a0And He has been moving in our lives to change lives ever since.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to share my thoughts on topics many of us have struggled with as moms and wives. <\/p>\n

We all have so much in common. <\/p>\n

I pray that my words will comfort you and reassure you that you are on the right path with the Lord. You need only to keep going.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My life has been adventurous. It has been full of ups and downs, like so many of you have experienced in your own life. Through these years, I have learned to trust the Lord in every situation through all seasons. Whether with raising my children, praying for my marriage, or honoring my parents. I have placed my life in the hands of the Lord. I allow His word to guide me in all areas of my life. We say we can handle things when we detach from God\u2019s will. We want things our way and not God\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Being a child of a minister has afforded me the ability to see the world through different eyes. I watched my parents lead in the body of Christ and have a blessed marriage. I was able to learn so many lessons from their example. When my husband and I married, we applied many of their standards to our lives. Their dedication to God was at the top of our priorities. <\/p>\n

My husband came from a broken home, and even though my house had its struggles, we both knew that the common thread of Jesus made our homes work. So, we focused on keeping Jesus in the middle of our life. The way we saw each other and the way we raised our sons. We even placed Jesus in the middle of running our business. <\/p>\n

Jesus is our constant. <\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our actual counselor. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve learned through mere observation that the only way to be successful in every area of our lives is to keep Jesus and His word in the middle as a guidepost. When Jesus said HE was the Way, The Truth, and The Life, He wasn\u2019t joking! Putting God in the center of your life is the key to a healthy, thriving life. <\/p>\n

No additives. <\/p>\n

Just Jesus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

My faith is everything to me. It is woven into everything I do, see and think. I no longer respond to moments through my flesh or upbringing. <\/p>\n

I learned long ago that if we respond to our children, spouse, family, or church members, this is\u00a0a severely flawed response, even if it comes from a \u201cgood\u201d place. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus said no man is good, not one, only the Father in heaven. So, I learned to hone my responses through the word of God,\u00a0led by His spirit. <\/p>\n

It has taken me a long time but has saved many relationships. <\/p>\n

It has helped me create healthy boundaries, and above all, it has brought me closer to the Father in Heaven. <\/p>\n

We will have a heart like God when we are led by faith. No weapon formed against it will prosper. <\/p>\n

God honors those who seek him, and I\u2019ve learned my prayer life has amped so that I don\u2019t even have to stop what I\u2019m doing to pray. I can\u00a0hear it in my spirit and come into agreement with the Holy Spirit, and it is done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
