Summary
Amy yelled at a kid flying through her neighborhood today and she has zero regrets. A listener writes in about a boss who vents about motherhood in ways that feel uncomfortable and she genuinely wants to know if she is being too judgmental or if her feelings are valid. Amy and Kat talk through it. Then a letter from Taylor in Virginia Beach that will be the biggest encouragement to you. Taylor's husband is deployed on the USS Gerald R Ford which just set the record for the longest deployment since Vietnam. She wrote in last year with a game plan to not just survive but thrive and she is writing back to say the Lord answered that prayer…300 days later! Her words at the end of this email are something everyone needs to hear whether you are in a hard season or not.
Here’s part of the email that Taylor left that we loved: “I am so sorry this is part of your story. I know it seems scary.. AND you were made for this. This season will be a gift because it will force you to see what really matters and you’ll get to build your life around it. Feel the feelings and also if you can have any joy or fun in your day- fight for it. It’s good for you. Don’t wait for this season to end to enjoy life.. you are strong enough to do both.. to face this hard thing and enjoy your life while doing it. It’s okay to say no and honor your limitations, it’s even better to let people in to help you. You have what it takes to do this, because it doesn’t have to be done perfectly, you just have to show up. There will be hard moments but they will not last. So grieve the season’s pain, and get up and face the day. HAVE THE DAY YOU NEED TO HAVE. And you may just find out that this season turned you into the person you wanted to be all along.”
