Don't Mom Alone Podcast Summer of Mentorship 2019 Week One :: Nancy Williams
The first guest in our mentorship series is Nancy Williams**. She is known by her 9 grandchildren & 4 great-grandchildren to label each family gathering as "the best ever". Her phrase perfectly summarizes this podcast.
The show first aired in February of 2014 (Episode 11) and was titled "Best Ever Life". Based on the title, you may be surprised to discover Nancy's motherhood journey includes many trials and heartache. But she views each challenge as an "opportunity" (her word) to see the power of God at work.
This interview is bursting with Truth and wisdom. Here's a brief summary of the topics we cover:
- How to keep your thoughts and perspective in check when your husband works long hours.
- Where to turn with your parenting questions.
- How to respond when the consequences of sin enter your children's lives
- How to share a simple family tradition of gratitude and love (fabulous idea!)
- How to deal with mom guilt (a.k.a., the part of the podcast where I get emotional)
- How to help your children turn to God when you can't meet all their needs.
SUCH good stuff.
I was most encouraged to hear this message from Nancy:
This can be the "best life ever", no matter the circumstances, if it includes eternal salvation for our children and unconditional love in our homes.
