Summary

As the saying goes, "life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans," and that statement couldn't be more true when your family is in the midst of major life shifts. Maybe you're moving across the country. Perhaps you just welcomed your first child into the world. Or it could be that you started a new career with entirely different rhythms that need to be quickly learned. Regardless of the shift you and your family are making, the Lord is always at work accomplishing His purposes in your life, if we would just pause long enough to take note. In this episode, we are joined once again by our sweet friends Elisha and Katie Voetberg of Now That We're A Family. We were so refreshed and encouraged to hear their wisdom on how they gracefully walked through a long season of living off grid, building a home, caring for their six children and adapting to a new chapter of life! You can learn more about the Voetbergs, their online music academy, and pick up a copy of their first ever print magazine at: https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com
