Melanie, I just wanted to say thank you for what you do. I am new to your podcast and have only been listening for 3 weeks, but I instantly loved it. The first episode I listened to you were in Nauvoo and I knew from the way you and your sister interacted with each other that I would love this podcast. . It brightens my day, it strengthens my spirit, it brings me closer to Christ. Thank you thank you.
My friend from Cedar City put a quote on her fb page “To Him, our direction is ever more important than our speed”. I texted her and said this is what I needed to hear. She asked me if I listened to your podcast because this is where she heard it from. This is a few weeks ago…so first of July and she said, you have to listen to her from the beginning though, to understand her personality. So I have listened to the first 3 podcasts and I love you! I skipped to the last few weeks and have missed all in between, but will when I get a chance. I love your vulnerability with what you are going through in life and sharing! You crack me up too….don’t change a thing! Anyhoo…a few weeks ago we were going through some hard parenting of “adult or soon to be adult kids”. Its so weird when they go off to college and come home and then have their “own” schedule. I’m not used to it! (Great kids, just weird dynamics of adult kids and then little kids down to 3 in the home for the summer). Anyhoo I have been having a hard time with 2 of the “adult” kids that were home for the summer, so much that it was causing contention in the home. I unloaded on my hubby and he was like “this is it, they need to leave our house, they cannot be an example of doing their own thing when we still have littles to raise”. Oh boy…that was a hard thing to go through that week. Both kids reacted differently and it hurt. Some entitlement and some humbleness happened, more humbleness but took some having a meeting, etc.
This was a hard (short lived but long during the few days lol) heart hurting moment for me as a mama. But because I had listened to your first few podcasts and heard of the hard times you were going through and that Heavenly Father provided the peace, it helped me! I drew on the strength that you and that other lady you interviewed were not having your problems go away, but peace was added to your lives in the midst of it. I remember the stress I felt and prayed to HF for guidance, and the instant peaceful feeling came over me that things will somehow work out and they did! Things are good and better now and glad we went through that hiccup for our family. I am grateful that you take the time to do your podcast, I love your personal stories and your passion to share about our Savior!
