“Beneath the surface, these are also stories of a mother. 

A mother who worries and rails in frustration. A mother who desperately wants to be assured all will be well. A mother who wants to feel and know God’s presence is with her. A mother who is learning to trust.”

This has so much impact. And such a tender interpretation of the weathering situation, beautiful. So glad you are safe; sending love and light through this intense weather season!

Your Mothering Spirit piece left me breathless. I just sent it to my mom. You’re a wonderful writer, Kim.

I loved the opening story, Kim. Even though I know it was a scary time. It warmed my heart to think of that bus full of kids finding refuge in your church. Hope you all stay safe!!

“Whatever storms you are living through — loss and grief, a new diagnosis, wrestling with your vocation, questioning your faith — may you find another soul to sit with you, to have their heart beat next to yours, and in the silence and darkness hear God whisper to you: you are not alone.” AMEN!! So good. And I LOVE that Wendell Berry poem.
