Living Scattered (Tripping Hazards, Guilt Spirals, and the God Who Loves Me Anyway)
#randomdevothoughts with Amber: Reflections on the Jesus Heart from the ADHD Mind
Manage episode 520585146 series 3693122
I'm getting real about life with a buckshot brain—you know, the kind that walks into the kitchen to make dinner and ends up reorganizing the hall closet while something burns on the stove. This episode tackles the guilt, the chaos, and the grace of living scattered, including a very honest confession about my legally blind husband tripping over things I've left in random "logical" places. I'm also sharing 5 things that help me wrangle my focus back to what actually matters (most of the time). Spoiler: God's not waiting for you to get your act together before He shows up.
