The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith

Kelly joins me again this week and shares more of her journey as a mom of 12 who also carries the diagnosis of ALS. Kelly will encourage you to find joy in what you are doing and embrace where you are at. She is an example of a woman who lives out the decision to choose joy.

This was a very hard episode to put a title to because it is FULL of wisdom! My friend Kelly, who has been diagnosed with ALS, shares what she has been learning about getting priorities straight, sitting at the feet of Jesus and resting in Christ. Do you feel like you are running around with too many plates spinning? Find rest dear mama, seek Jesus and find rest.
