WELCOME HEART: Living a Legacy Life

Ep 261 Living Our Days By Trusting Our God with Michele Morin


Listen Later

Fellow writer and mother of adult children, Michele Morin, talks about modeling who God is for our children as our greatest legacy. Mother of four grown boys-now-men with families of their own, I love how Michele trusts God for each new season of her life, even a season with a chronic illness included. You will be blessed with tons of practical wisdom today as we talk about how we deal with unanswered prayers and questions and try not to catastrophize every little thought that comes into our brains. 

Some gems from our convo:

  • We make the mistake of defining God's goodness by how he answers our prayers—or not.
  • I used to have to "send myself to my room" for a time-out so I could do some much-needed attitude adjustment. 
  • I had to learn that making a good life for a family I loved was exactly where and what God wanted me to do and be.
  • Never forget that we are modeling for our kids what God is like.
  • Only a free person has the privilege of rest.
  • Chronic disease helps me stay present to today's work rather than projecting and catastrophizing what may lay ahead.
  • We tend to put our hope in our prayers instead of God himself which can make what we pray for an idol.
  • To lean into God's goodness on a daily basis helps to keep our walk with God fresh and not rote.

    Michele Morin is a reader, writer, speaker, and gardener who does life with her family on a country hill in Maine. She has been married to an unreasonably patient husband for thirty years, and together they have four sons, four daughters-in-love, and five adorable grandchildren. 

    Active in educational ministries with her local church, Michele delights in sitting at a table surrounded by women with open Bibles. She loves hot tea and well-crafted sentences, poems that stop her in her tracks, and days at the ocean with the whole family.  She laments biblical illiteracy and advocates for the prudent use of “little minutes.”
