It's a heavy one, but I feel that it's important to share this, even though it's hard.I'm sharing my story of losing my seventh baby. Motivation has to go hand in hand with suffering. We need the support, prayers, and encouragement of one another when we're carrying our crosses, and that's one of the graces I found in the helplessness of my miscarriage.Even (or maybe especially!) in the midst of suffering, we have the opportunity to receive love, grace, and the good intentions of those around us.Pray for me, friends.

114: Repost from The Real Deal of Parenting

People are good. You might not think that if you listen to traditional news, but that's a lie. Everyday heroes and saints live among us and my goal is to introduce them to you.We are inspired by the words of Mother Teresa, "Do something beautiful for God. Do it with your life. Do it every day. Do it in your own way. But do it!” Leah Darrow, former model and contestant on America's Next Top Model, draws on her experience in the beauty industry to expose the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance and instead invites us to look again at the real meaning of beauty in service to mankind.

So many beautiful, honest, and relatable conversations. One of my absolute favorite podcasts ever!

LOVE it!

Such an awesome podcast! Thank you Leah for your witness and for using your gift for Christ.
