The Right to Change My Mind Bruce Heather Ep 196

Published: March 5, 2018, 6:30 a.m.

Life is full of decisions. We do our best to choose wisely and follow God\u2019s lead. Sometimes God leads us in a different direction. It doesn\u2019t always make \u201csense\u201d in the moment.\xa0 And it definitely isn\u2019t easy to share those changes with others.

\n

It\u2019s been over a year since we\u2019ve given you a glimpse behind the scenes. In that time A LOT has happened in our world: new job, school shifts, adopting & \u201cre-homing\u201d a puppy. So I\u2019m bringing my hubby Bruce back on the show to share one concept he\u2019s used at work for years and he has helped me process the last year of change.

\n

In this episode Bruce and I let you in on the thought process behind our life choices. Hoping this conversation will allow you grace to change your mind without the fear of what others think.

\n

I reserve the right to change my mind and not have to explain it to you, but every person who hears about it wants to know the whole story. What I\u2019ve found is people want to know the\xa0should. Every time I talk to a mom, they are feeling this pressure to get it all right, so then when they hear a story that doesn\u2019t work out or where you changed your mind they are trying to analyze the rightness of it.

\n What we chat about:
  • What\u2019s happened in the MacFadyen family in the past year
  • Bruce\u2019s current business,\xa0Door Real Estate Brokerage\n
  • The mantra, \u201cI always reserve the right to change my mind\u201d
  • Making the decision to send one of our sons back to school after a semester of homeschooling
  • What happened with our dog
  • Giving yourself freedom to change your mind
  • Being gracious to others who change their minds
  • Why we need to give our kids and ourselves permission to make mistakes
  • Working to create an environment at home where it\u2019s okay to change your mind and make mistakes
  • In all of the decisions in life it\u2019s about balance and listening to God\u2019s voice
