Maybe your mama heart has been broken like mine in hearing of the tragedy that took place on March 26,2023 at the Christian school in Nashville. Knowing that three children were victims has caused questions, sadness, anger, anxiety, and fear to paralyze our minds and hearts. What do we do? How do we respond? How do we help our children through this? I jumped on today to offer encouragement in the midst of these questions and feelings we all have and some actions that will be helpful in moving forward. One thing we can know and trust is God is with us. He hasn’t left us or forsaken us and we can run into His arms and not away. He can handle the big emotions and questions from you and your children. Praying for you all, mama friends! www.carissnider.com
