You are a mentor to me through the wisdom God has bestowed upon you as you walk with him through your life experiences and your willingness to share all you have learned so vulnerably with us.

Bless you as a Mother and a Christian woman. My own Mother spoke those same encouraging words to me so many years ago. I can still feel that baby spit up going down under my top. Now that my children are in their mid 20’s and early 30’s I have learned to Praise God for all the little and big things, keeping the bigger picture in mind. Bless all you loving and lovely mother’s taking care of your treasured gifts from God!

Thank you for your transparency Barbara. Your testimony minsters to my heart as I try to navigate some difficult family relationships. I love the reminders that Gods job is to rescue, resurrect and restore. Our inadequacy is an opportunity for Him to move powerfully beyond what we can imagine, for His glory. I ALWAYS look forward to seeing your encouragement in my inbox.

Thank you, Barbara, for reminding me that I too matter, in this fast-paced time, mothers often forget themselves because of the efforts we put to our families. Your blog and encouraging words speak to my heart. Thank you once more. 

This prayer addresses my present circumstances. Thanks for your inspiration. 

This year I felt convicted to make Easter season more than a Good Friday/Easter Sunday combo. I searched the internet and found not only this calendar but your website. While there may have been a little glitch with the calendar, the ripples that will come for years because of this content fill me with joy. It is beyond stunning! I am so excited that I am the only one in my family that knows of the backside of the banner. I can't wait to see my family's amazement on Easter morning when it's been flipped over. Kind of an empty tomb effect is what I'm anticipating! So again, thank you.
