Do you ever struggle with what to wear? I do. Yet what if we chose to focus less on what we put on on the outside and focused more about what we put on within each day? Tune in to this week's episode of Pause. Breathe. Pray™ to learn from Colossians 3:12-14 about the seven things we need to 'put on' everyday.   Summary - Reflection and Application 1. Focus on the inside before the outside. 2. Take time to pray to 'put on' essential items. 3. Put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and forgiveness. 4. Above all put on love that binds all together in perfect unity.     Scripture of the Week ⁠FREE PRINTABLE HERE⁠ Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. - Colossians 3:12-14   Next Steps for you: 1.

I am so grateful you are here!  This podcast is a prayerful space where you can give yourself permission to press pause in your busy day, give yourself margin to breathe - into the present moment - and to pray, inviting God in to help you take care of your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical well-being. Hi, I’m Shawn Elizabeth George. I am a wife, mom of three, and a dog Mom to Georgia who loves Jesus. As a former Health, Physical Education, and yoga teacher I have always loved health and wellness! Yet much of my life I thought being healthy meant that if I looked good on the outside then I would feel well within. The interesting thing with that is when I looked my best on the outside, is when I was really struggling with anxiety and depression. And when I have felt the most peace within, was when I had cancer. Having these experiences made me rethink what health and wellness really are. When I stopped chasing the wind and following the current health and wellness trends and instead held on to scripture and what God’s Word says about the greater purpose of our minds, hearts, bodies and Spirit, it renewed my perspective on health and wellness. I am here to share with you foundational truths from God’s Word that are tools you can use to help you be well and live healthier and more fully. I am excited to share this with you!  If you are ready to renew your mind, grow peace in your heart, wellness in your soul, and appreciate your body then grab that cup of coffee, tea or water, press play and let's take a step of faith on this transformational journey together. Now is the perfect time in your day to pause, breathe, pray.™   With love and hope, Shawn
