131. Special Mom Story -- Elise Daly Parker

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Are you living like an orphan or as the daughter of the King? These words are from my podcast episode this week and they really stuck with me. In fact, I was doing my quiet time and I am studying the names of God and one of the lessons was on the story of Moses and the burning bush. In the notes, it said that Moses was asking two questions, “Who Am I?” and “Who Are You?” to God. I think we ask ourselves these same questions and that is what I want you to think about today: Who are you and Who is God, especially in the hard times of life?</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>I love what Elise Day Parker shares on the podcast this week. She is my special mom story, and I am so excited to have her talk about her two roles: she is a stepmom, but also she has lost two babies in the middle of a pregnancy. In this episode, she has a quote about loss and what she learned about God that is so profound and deep. I cannot wait for you to hear the truth she shares as well as her honesty and vulnerability.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Book Recommendations:</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --></p> <ul> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/3vW2CW2">The Dance of Anger</a> by Harriet Lerner</li> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/3kTTo66">What Christians Should Know About the Importance of Forgiveness?</a> By John Arnott</li> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/3PaqiO2">Boundaries</a> by Henry Cloud and John Townsend</li> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/39M8qZw">Unglued</a> by Lysa TerKeurst</li> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/3LRT4AK">I Will Start Again Monday</a> by Lysa TerKeurst</li> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/3wdqYcD">The Hard Good</a> by Lisa Whittle</li> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/3kSCODD">Try Softer</a> by Aundi Kolber</li> <li>*<a href="https://amzn.to/3ymE2ix">Unshakable Peace in an Unsteady World</a> by Elise Daly Parker, Michelle Wilbert, Jodi Kinasewitz, and Jess Carey</li> </ul> <p><!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>I am so ex
