Summary

Laura is a wife and mom of three kids.  Her and her youth director husband wound up in a career they were not expecting (or previously prepared for).  Their journey, while not like any of ours at first glance, is rich with lessons for us all regardless of our situations.  It was a treat for me to hear more of her story and I know you will agree! What we chat about:  How God did something big with their  "humble stepping in." The wisdom behind considering your pace of life. The concept that your kids have a Good Shepherd, and it's not you. The 2 things that shape a child.  Head to momstrugglingwell.com for entire show notes! Follow along: Instagram // Facebook Support us: Shop // Amazon
