Summary
Even without the overwhelm of the pandemic exhausting us both physically and emotionally, life inevitably brings storms our way. Storms that we can ride out with God or storms that we allow to sweep us away.
Sally Clarkson, author, speaker and mentor of moms, joins me to talk about how to weather the storms of life with grace and hope. We talk about how some anchors we can put down in stormy times, pushing into friendships, filling our cups when we are depleted and parenting our kids through life’s disappointments.
Sally also shares about how weathering life’s storms helps us care for others who are experiencing hard times better.
“Sometimes in my life I think Jesus wanted me to grow up a little bit because it was in facing my storms, learning to walk through them that I was humbled. I learned a lot. I had more compassion for other people going through storms. I feel like the story that you live becomes the platform for your compassion for other people.”

| 0:32.6 | And so I do think I mean it's different for different women but I think when you find |
| 0:37.8 | yourself getting angry over small things or crying too easily or whatever it is that's |
| 0:44.7 | yourself talking to yourself saying okay there's something going wrong here what can we |
| 0:50.7 | do about it I talked to myself that I noticed that when I'm really grumpy or angry or whatever |
| 0:56.6 | I have to look inside and go okay I am depleted what am I what am I going to plan and do about |
| 1:02.2 | it because it is such a marathon and I learned probably in my mid 40s more than any other |
| 1:08.9 | time that if I wasn't taking care of my emotional physical mental health no one else was |

| 1:51.2 | been navigating her own storms of life and the anchors she's found to be able to walk through |
| 1:57.8 | them with grace and hope I was reading in Romans 5 today and it was just another reminder |
| 2:03.9 | that it is faith it's faith which is all about believing there is more than our circumstances |
| 2:12.1 | and it's standing in grace that our position with a holy god with a god who is bigger than |
