Reflection and Faith – Replay of December Session: Christian Moms In An Era Of Moral Contradictions

We’re now into a new year, and I always like to take time to reflect back on the previous year.

“What do you want to do? You keep talking about how much you hate your job but you’re not doing anything about it.” I look at him in the driver’s seat, one hand on the wheel, the other leaning on the console. So relaxed as he asks me what I want to do with the rest of my life. Which, as a 28-year-old mother of two, I should have probably already known. “I don’t know. I feel [...]
