This week on Pardon the Mess we’re going to places we’ve never been before! You’ve heard Cynthia Yanof interview guests each week as we talk parenting, but today there’s no guest. It’s Cynthia unplugged! Cynthia talks candidly about the places where the Lord has worked in her life the last several years, and encourages us to live for the higher purposes of God. She reminds us to be careful not to let the mundane trump the mission in our life, and challenges us to live interruptable. Bonus: She share the best parenting advice she’s ever received! Today’s episode will no doubt make you laugh while challenging you to make the most of every day for the Lord - because the Lord has mighty plans for each of us and there’s no time to waste when the days are short.   Links from this episode:  Christian Parenting Prayer Journal   Book referenced: Nothing to Prove: Why We Can Stop Trying So Hard by Jennie Allen   Scripture referenced: Ecclesiastes 1:1, 1:11, 12:8, 12:13-14 James 4:13-14 Deuteronomy 31 Joshua 23 1 Samuel 12 1 Kings 2:2-4 John 15:19 1 Corinthians 10:5 Esther 4:13-14 Acts 17:26   Listen on Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio and Stitcher
