There’s not a day that goes by that I do not hear these same sentiments from a mom. And I have been there many times.
In this episode, I get the pleasure of having a real life heart chat with my friend (and my Life Plan Coach) Brooke Warnock. She shares about her journey of raising 5 kids on a ranch – while wanting to use her unique gifts for the Lord. It can be a huge struggle for all of us.
My favorite part is how honest she is about the struggle of using your gifts and raising kids. She will make you feel so seen as she shares her journey. I pray you feel so very encouraged that this is not the end of your story.
In some ways, the motherhood years are just the beginning. If you don’t have your exact calling and purpose figured out – do not feel discouraged. I pray you never forget that God will use every bit of you and your giftings to raise those kids and build your home.
In this episode we discuss:
What is wrong? What is right? What is confused? What is missing?
