Summary
In today's podcast, Ruth Bean, from our Vestavia community group, authentically shares her struggles, anxieties, and fears as a mom and how she is learning to trust God with her children. In her story, Ruth will encourage you to rest in knowing God has a perfect plan for your child, and if you're having a hard time trusting Him and letting go, rest assured, you aren't alone!
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
- Thinking you have control over your children as they grow up is a facade, and you must hand them over to God.
- Jesus was rejected in a big way, and often times, our kids will be rejected as well.
- When you allow little hurts to build up, they can shatter your soul.
