Mothers and Teenagers, Full Circle – Doreen’s Story

August 1, 2016

The day had been a long one, and I was very tired. My mother and I had driven to my sister’s to help after the cesarean birth of her first child. The roads were bad, my father’s car didn’t handle well in the snow, and my nerves were shot by the time we arrived. And […]

The Best Thing in the World You Can Do – Guest Post by Doreen Frick

June 27, 2016

I used to love to run for office. In elementary school I wanted to be president. I wrote a speech, made posters, and gave out free pens, but I lost to a fellow classmate who was taller, more eloquent, and probably more interested in the actual office. I think I just loved to compete. If […]

Surrendering Fertility to the Lord, Even When He Takes the Baby Back – Cheryl’s Story

April 19, 2015

Flashback to 1997 when our nine year marriage, on the brink of divorce, was rescued from the miry pit as two lost sinners surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. The very first issue the Lord addressed after coming to salvation was […]

National Adoption Month Series: Mary’s Story

November 24, 2014

The chairs were cold and hard, and I was ready to leave. We sat in the gym listening to song after song, as the program seemed to run long. Finally, someone teased us about closing the ceremony, but then dashed our hopes with “just one more number.” I suppressed a huge sigh, as adults are […]

Categorizing Lives – Mary’s Story

July 15, 2014

I do a lot of categorizing in my life, which is how I explain marrying a preacher type. My mother was a teacher, my father became a preacher, and the majority of my family on my mom’s side does one or the other. When someone new remarks about me being a preacher’s wife, I tell them, […]

Born to Mother – Beth’s Story

January 15, 2014

Motherhood is the only way I can describe my life. It is who I am. Every part of me and each chapter of my life, from childhood to now 62 years old, have been marked by the mothering role I have played. There is nothing that I feel I can do better and there is […]
