You're listening to the God-centered mom podcast with me, Heather McFadden.

As the mom to four young boys, I know mother is hard, but sometimes I think I make it even

harder than it needs to be.

I'll worry about my needs being met or all, spend so much energy trying to make my boys

happy that I forget that if I would take my eyes off me and my eyes off my kids and keep

my eyes on God, that those desires would grow strangely dim.

And our contentment would go up as I'm led by his spirit.

I also forget that I'm surrounded by God.

He is going before me and places that I'm fearful of.

I may.

So each week, I'll interview a new guest and we'll discuss what it means to be a God-centered

mom.

and how she finally found healing through in a place that she was least expecting back
