I believe in this book and the mission behind it. There is a movement of the Holy Spirit, igniting older mothers to impart to younger mothers. This book is a product of 2 moms, young and old, from two very different worlds, working together to encourage moms around the world. Our children depend on us to be ‘up’ for the high calling of mothering. The world around us devalues motherhood at every level. I find myself on both sides of the motherhood fence. With a large family, I still have younger children (our youngest just turned 10) while part of our nest is ‘empty’ with our 5 oldest out of our home. I’m honored to be a part of this movement and count it a privilege to pass on what’s most dear to my heart. My life work has been mothering and will be until I’m finished on this earth. There is no greater calling, but none so rich in investment. It takes our heart and soul to raise the next generation. I think we’re all willing to give – but need perspective and encouragement from those who’ve gone before.

This just brought me to tears. Perhaps because I am exhausted. Or because I know how busy your life is and how many burdens you also bear–and that you would be so very considerate to post this today–tears and love and appreciation for you today.
Love you,

Sally has such a heart for women and homeschooling. She freely gives her insight and wisdom, which is so helpful and inspiring. I love how God has used her and continues to use her in this mission for mothers! She has truly inspired me, I am so looking forward to reading her new book desperate!
If I don’t win it I might buy it! I do desperately seek wisdom those who have gone before me.
