Space to Breath

Tommy Thompson pt 2

In this busy world – that seems to get busier almost every single day – sometimes we need to just take a step back, pause and just take a deep breath. Often, just that one thing can give us the clarity we seek. Sometimes, it can also save us from doing something that could have adverse consequences. Amen!

It seems like everyone we talk to is feeling overwhelmed by life, Pastor Bob included. Amen! Yet, we just keep on pushing. Often taking on more and more – all with the intent of achieving what we dream of as “success.”

But it seems that “the faster we go, the behinder we get.” Amen! There are just too many balls we are juggling and trying to keep them all up in the air at the same time. And if you ever noticed a juggler that drops one ball, it seems it causes almost ALL OF THE BALLS to drop! Amen!

Our guest today has learned how to just, step back and take a breath (so to speak) and is now helping others to find that guiding peace as well. Tommy Thompson is our guest today and he is the author of “SPACE TO BREATHE AGAIN.”Tommy is a successful business leader who has learned the importance of finding space to breathe in his busy life. He now shares his tips for dealing with stress, making time for yourself, and finding peace of mind. In fact, if you are feeling the stress of being overwhelmed at times and just need to find the space to breath – you will be blessed by this interview today, Praise God!

Tommy, this has been so interesting. Praise God! I love the work you are doing for the Kingdom, Amen! If someone wanted to get in touch with you, ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

Folks, Tommy Thompson has had his share of stressful situations over the years, as you have heard him share today. But one thing he learned is how to lean into God when the going gets tough. By doing that, he found “Space to Breathe Again,” amen!

If you are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, life does not always have to be that way. You do not have to settle for being distracted and anxious all of the time. In fact, Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God and the Peace of God, which transcends ALL understanding, will guard your heart and minds in Christ Jesus.” Amen!
