So, it’s no good writing about how to write your story for 31 days straight, if you don’t right?
So I am. And I have been.
Thank you for making me brave. May I introduce you to {with a sweet little working title}:
Changed: Everything I Never Expected About Motherhood

Any questions you might have? Feel free to leave ‘em in the comments. I promise to answer every single one!
You moms are the awesome sauce, you know that right?
You are a wonder – what you do. It amazes me. You got this. Even on the days when you think you don’t. When you can’t imagine one more shift. When you want to take off running after the ice cream truck. When you can’t remember when last you washed your hair. When you want to climb back into your pre-baby body and days that didn’t start with Elmo and end with bath water anywhere but in the bath.
You got this.
This book is for you.
And for me.
This book is for us.
Kara @My interrobang
Oh me, oh my. Weeeeee!
SO excited for you… (and for me… the reader!!!) Congrats Big!!! <3
Thrilling and wonderful and I’m teary-eyed thinking what a wonderful piece of encouragement I will now have to place on my bookshelf!!! I love you, sweet friend!
This is me cheering loudly!
Can.Not.Wait.
Oh I am BEYOND excited to read this! I’m sure it’s going to be a must-have for all new (and “old”
) mothers! Blessed to have connected with you on the weekend, thanks for making sure I got a few minutes in with Ann Voskamp before her body guards whisked her away 
giddy with excitement to hear your news (although a little bird from oregon may have already spilled the beans
). you are so gifted and I’m smiling knowing God has called and equipped you to encourage moms and foster community. be blessed friend.
I need this book like 4 years ago (when I became a mama)… but I’ll certainly settle for as soon as your sweet fingers can type it out. Congratulations on this exciting news, I am thrilled for you. I don’t know you beyond meeting you at Allume and reading around here, but can I just say that I am super proud of you? Thanks for sharing your words.
I needed this book like seven years ago myself. It’s why I’m writing it now. For me. And us. And what we wish someone had told us, eh?
I am so excited for this! God used your words to hold me together when I thought I couldn’t be a mother and now here I am 20 months later loving this role and my child! Thanks for putting your words together in a book I’m really looking forward to reading them.
Laura
Laura you and the mighty women of courage who read and write here – you all inspire and I would give you all super hero capes if I could. This book is my next best
Congratulations! I cannot wait to have it on my bookshelf!
I am so excited for you Lisa-Jo! This will be so good, and a much needed message! Can’t wait to read your heart in a book.
Blessings to you!
Oh I can’t wait!!! Your blog posts have given me so much hope in the fact that I am not alone. (I have even emailed you a few times on some similar situations we have been through!) I can’t wait for your book to come out!
Yes yes, the knowing we’re not alone part. That is a huge heart of this story. Thank you all for journey alongside here.
How awesome?! Congratulations to you!
So excited for you! And for us women who get to read this! You have been a huge encouragement to me as Mom and as a blogger! Can’t wait to read it!
Lisa-Jo. I’ve only been here a few times, but every time what you say resonates with me. We must be cut from the same cloth! Congratulations on your upcoming book.
Such exciting news! I’m so excited for you, and I can’t wait to read your book and give it to all my mommy friends.
You must know how special you are to me, to be encouraged. Right here. Right now. The very first time I met you, you looked right into my eyes with a smile as wide as Texas, welcoming me with open arms, and my heart felt instantly accepted and valued. Your gift of hospitality at five minute friday has given me community and connection, and your cheerleading skills in any situation are next to none. And I will never forget how you’ve stopped by my little space in the world wide web to whisper to my heart that I matter, that I’m loved, that I belong in this blogger community. You’ve helped me become a better writer, a better mom, and a better friend, all from the consistent grace-filled encouragement you provide. And I want you to know tonight…this book. This. is what He made you to do. And I can’t wait to read your humor-filled honest words straight from your heart. Thank you for shining Him in every post, every comment and every interaction. YOU are lovely and YOU are a gift!
annnnnnd now it’s the part of the evening where I’m glad make up no longer matters and I’m alone with my goose bumps and goofy grin as I read this. you are a gift Jacque – thank you.
A book! I hoped this might be your news- how exciting. Can’t wait to wrap your words around me like a blanket of encouragement and share them with those in need. Your work is good, holy and important.
As I read through these comments, I see how much the world need a Lisa-Jo Baker and not JUST me! When I met you last year and you shouted, “Wait! you are LINDSEY VAN NIEKERK!” I knew then that I didn’t just like you but that I loved you and your BIG heart. I am not a mom {yet!} and while it SHOULD be hard to read a blog that focuses so much ON moms…you have this way…of making all of us feel that we belong! And I am thankful to see motherhood through your eyes PRE-the-mommyhood-diaries.
You are my sweet, sweet hybrid South Afric-merican, chocolate-loving friend! I thank God for you! {P.S. I first found your voice on the web when I was in a very dark place…I don’t think I ever told you that….and it was one that helped to make me feel that I was not alone….again..even though I don’t hold my own babies yet}.
I love you!
Nou moet ek ‘n bietjie Afrikaans praat – want jy hou my hart. Jy hou my hart. Dankie, sus.
Oh – I can’t wait! Being a mom is hard and glorious and hard!
We all need more stories – less how-to’s – but stories.
Yes yes yes. After my first born I systematically threw out all the how-to books on babyhood and figured we’d figure it out together. Those are the stories we all need to tell each other more.
I’m sure I will be buying your book, even though my baby is four and my oldest is a six-foo-sixteen-year-old, with four inbetween! It will be priceless for new mothers.
Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Elizabeth
Oops! Sorry–he is six-foot! Too late at night!
So excited for you and for all of us moms that continue to be blessed by you!
Those publishers are smart to be interested. Moms everywhere will be fortunate to read your words on paper pages as they are fortunate to read them on the screen. I just hope I can get a sneak peek because I don’t think I can wait until may 2014, that’s like two back to back pregnancies and that’s way too long for me.
Nodding my head in agreement, Alex!
Laughing hard- yes we bloggers prefer our writing “next day delivery” – if you will have me and my rough drafts they will certainly be coming your way, Alex!
As much as I know all the newbie mamas need your book, I think it’ll be a timeless read, appropriate for mamas of school aged kids like me and empty nesters and beyond. Because it’s never too late to relish the difficult but glorious calling of motherhood!
I love you and am so. stinkin’. proud of you I can hardly see straight. This book will be phenomenal, friend. Can’t wait to see it all unfold! Standing ovation, beautiful you!
And to think, it was only a few nights ago we were sharing a hotel bed.
You are one of my all time favorites.
I *knew* it was a book announcement! Yay! And what a great title. So excited for you…and for us who get to read it!
Lisa-Jo,
Warm wishes from another Lisa (without a hyphen) and another writer/blogger. My mama story is chaotic and still-in-process. I’m a stepmother to three very challenged children (14, 9, 6) and I’ve become a full-time mother (for all intensive purposes – I do all the mom things since they are with us full-time and the younger two really do consider me “Mom” though it’s not openly talked about that much). My questions is this – will you be addressing any other “types” of mothers in your book – such as stepmothers or adoptive mothers or foster mothers? Somehow I don’t think so because from what I gather this is really about your journey and what you never expected from motherhood – and that is wonderfully fine. I was just wondering if there was a slim chance you were going to touch upon those subjects. Thank you! I absolutely adore your writing and I KNOW God will use this book mightily. Many blessings to you and your gorgeous family.
Hey there Lisa – you know, actually I will. Because my own story includes my mom dying, my dad re-marrying and him and his awesome wife who we adore, adopting and fostering kids. So yup, pretty much the whole gamut from my perspective
I actually have a whole chapter called “My Five Moms” about the women who shaped me as a woman and a mother after my own mom passed away.
Wow, so much I can resonate with – I am so excited! My mother passed away 6 years ago next month when I was 28. I became a stepmother of 3 kids at the age of 30. I still grieve with a fresh wound. I had a stepmother, myself, since the age of 11 and a stepfather since the age of 4, along with my own father. So I’ve got alot of parents as well! I so look forward to reading your book! Thank you for answering my question.
Squeeee! How I wish I knew moms like you and those in this community when I was raising my children.
How exciting! Your book sounds like the type of book I needed when I started on this motherhood journey almost 8yrs ago. I wanted to thank you because you have helped me to find my voice in this short time that I’ve been reading here. I feel so much more courageous about telling my story on my own blog, and I believe I will watch myself transform over the next few months.
I love to hear that! When writer’s find their voices. Thank you for the encouragement of sharing that with me – here’s to may more words finding their way onto paper!
Wooohooooooooo, Lisa-Jo! I am so excited for you, so grateful for you and this cheerleader you’ve been to me — and us — on this mothering/blogging/writing/living journey. I cannot wait to read this book and am elated that I’ll get to meet you at the Jumping Tandem retreat in April. May God bless and keep you in all the emotions you’ll feel and all the words you’ll put down to create this book. May your partnership with Him bring you such joy.
This is great news! Can’t wait to read it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE.
You are one of my must-reads every day, mainly because I heart your words and they so encourage me on this motherhood journey. I cannot wait for your book, and am SO stinking excited!!! Blessings to you as you write!!!
Congratulations! So excited for you. My children are long grown, but I love your writing and perspective on motherhood. Sounds like I’ll have some lovely gift material to share with my daughters-in-law
Oh that makes me so happy to think about us re-gifting the motherhood circle on and on and on
I’m curious what software you used to compile that tear-jerker intro video? You know I loved it, girl!
Oh I’m no whizz – I just used the iMovie software that came with my Mac. And I was amazed at how easy peasy it was. Highly recommend for newbie film makers
Thrilled, absolutely thrilled for you and for us:)
I happened to be noodling around on a certain literary agent’s website a few weeks ago, and your lovely face popped up on the page as a new client, so I knew something exciting was afoot!
Thank you for the 31 days and now this, your heart on bound paper! God is good:)
Thanks so much Kimberly. I’ve been too shy/nervous/paranoid to say anything about it until I had, like actually written something. But now I have three chapters and the full proposal in the bag I feel like I can exhale. There’s a road map and I can’t wait to follow it and write the rest. Thank you for your constant encouragement. So much.
Oh Lisa-Jo I am so very happy for you! Congratulations and also yippee! …for you AND for us
Your words never fail to make my heart smile and now I can’t wait to see your sweet story all pretty on shiny new pages.
(Is it weird that I’m just so PROUD of you? If it is, don’t tell me, ha!)
It’s totally NOT weird – this will be OUR book after all – for all the women who are brave and share their stories online and off and cheer for each other every step of the way. This book will be ours!
I have no idea why, but listening to you brought tears to my eyes. Again. You do that often. But in a good way
.
All the best with your book, it sounds like the most wonderful journey – and thank you for sharing yourself so generously and wisely with all of us who read your blog – can’t believe I’ve been following you for nearly three years now!
Oh my WORD – I can’t believe that either! You get the prize. I don’t know what it is yet. But I’m sure chocolate will be involved!
This is wonderful! Thank you for telling your story, His story.
Via other Allume participants, and seeing your name tweeted about 1000x, I finally clicked over. You have inspired me. I am asking God what story he wants me to tell. He has written many into my life so far. I know he wants me to shout of His Greatness. The tangled ugly mess he snatched me out of, and the ways he has redeemed and restored me, are miraculous. I know he wants me to tell my story, His story. I know he has given me a gift with words. He has asked me to use it in some small ways, but I know there is something more. I just don’t know his will yet. It is so easy to go on about daily life, and simply forget about it. You have reminded me not only to remember, to listen for his will, but to ask Him what His will is and to prepare me for it. Thank you.
Hi there Jess. Lovely to meet you. And yes, He was whispering to me about this book for about a year and a half before I figured out what it would be about or how to begin. Keep listening – I’m sure He’ll lead you to the right words…
Thank you for being an inspiration and encouragement to so many. I pray God uses your book to touch many lives.
I’m praying the same thing, Mel. Thank you so much.
Congratulations again!
I will be buying your book. You inspire me. Thankyou. x
Ok, first of all, your photo reel made me cry.
Second: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I’m so very excited for you! And I can.not.wait. To read this beautiful book!! It’s truly a thing of wonder, and encouragement in itself, to watch someone living out the purpose God has given them. Praying protection over you as you write this book, and that it will only serve to do draw you and your family closer to Him. Congrats!!!!
Thanks so much Jen. Seriously. And those photos made me cry too
SOOOOO excited for you!!! I’ve been writing alot about motherhood these days as a new mommy…one of my recent posts was about not reading any books or taking anymore well-meaning advice from various authors and just do it our way:) This book is gonna be amazing- every mommy just wants to hear that we can do it!!! So glad you are writing this
Love from South Africa! Charissa
If I were there we’d be celebrating over melktert and five roses tea
This book is for all the moms who got tired of the “how-to” books and just needed a big ol “you can do it” story 
Standing and cheering my heart out for you with so much excitement and joy for you on this accomplishment! So excited to read your unique and broad experience and all the lovely, grace filled, “sister, I’ve got your back” perspective you will bring. Well done, Lisa Jo and congratulations!
I now think “Sister, I’ve got your back” should be an official book subtitle
oh how i wished i had had a book like this on my shelf too!! THRILLED you’re writing it! can’t wait to read it! and quite honestly, can’t wait to gift it!!
Oh thank you so much Tracie. Yes, writing for ourselves first is often the best kind of writing, isn’t it? Self teaching, preaching, encouraging….this is the book I wish someone had given me when I wanted to give back my mommy card.
I am so excited about this! I’ve been reading your blog and have received such wonderful encouragment and a charge to “carry on.” I have 4 young boys and homeschool 2 of them so far, and I feel overwhelmed on many days. Thank you for being honest and making yourself vulnerable. I can’t wait to read your book!
FOUR BOYS???? HOMESCHOOLING??? You are my new hero. Seriously.
Book tour MUST include a stop in CT! Once again, you are my hero! Can’t wait to read it!
Now if that isn’t the perfect book tour location, I don’t know what is!!!
I am so excited. You have a gift of storytelling and welcoming others into your world that is second to none. As the mother of one living child, now a young adult, I look forward to relishing in your stories and words of advice….because I am sure it will be timeless.
I think you are called to do this, Lisa-Jo. And it will be a gift to all of us. You know I love you…nothing else to be said!
I’ll be looking forward to reading this! Thank you for keeping motherhood real.
i am so excited for you. You are a blessing that will bless others so very greatly!
Thrilled for you, sweet girl.
Hip, Hip, Hallelujah! Excited for you & all those who will benefit from your words. Looking forward to reading it! May The Lord bless you through this & keep you strong & confident in Him & the work he will do through you.
You are writing the book that is in my heart too, and I’m just so afraid and unsure of how to take the next step. Maybe one day you could post about how to find publishers or where to begin sending my stories other than just my own little blog? I’d like to write about how I made the transition from being a full-time teacher and mother to being only a full-time mom and how that’s been a bit of an identity crisis, coupled with my learning that motherhood is NOT what I expected; it’s a whole lot harder. Thanks for being our cheerleader! You inspire me daily to remember in all this chaos WHO has given me these gifts of four babes and a writer’s heart.
Writing on your blog is the best way to do all those things. Just keep writing and faithfully telling the stories. That’s been the biggest part of my story so far.
Thrilled for you and for all of us moms who are encouraged daily by your sweet presence on the internet. Thank you for being faithful to this call that God has placed on your life! Your honesty about your struggles has helped so much as I have dealt with my little ones who can be challenging at times.
It was lovely to meet you if just for a moment at Allume and I have since learned from our mutual friend Bria that you went to Trinity while at Notre Dame? My husband was a youth pastor there for 3 years and we are so thankful for the lessons learned there.
Can’t wait to cheer YOU on as you go through this process. Much love!
You know Bria? NO way. Yes we loved ND. Still do. South Bend taught me that I am absolutely a small town girl at heart
Sounds like my kind of book! Good luck!!
Hip hip horray! Cheering for you , Lisa Jo, all the way from a small, winters town in northern Canada. You have such a gift – a gift from God – thank you for saying yes to Him. I pray for your book-writing process, that He the master of beautiful words, shines through you. & I’ll be the first to preorder your book online. God bless you!
Oh, Lisa Jo! You had my crying with that intro slide show… and rejoicing for all God made you to be, for the words He has given you to encourage SO many, and for the book you are writing. You don’t know me, and we may never meet until Heaven, but I love you so. God has used you to help my heart of stone turn to a heart of flesh – to give myself and my children grace, to enjoy these days and accept the mess once in awhile. ::big hugs::
Lovely Amanda – thank you thank you for this encouragement. Makes this little corner of the Internet feel like home – all us mamas cheering each other on. Happy Thursday to you!
Just when I was thinking, for all of your encouragement to us, when will we get to hear more of you and your story? Your words here have inspired and provoked me closer to truth of who I am as a mother and given me the courage to be the mama God has called me to be! So happy for you…
Cheering through tears. You are such a blessing and an inspiration. I cannot wait to pray you through this journey and to cherish the finished product and I know it will be a HUGE blessing to many! Thank you for this sweet news this morning {a morning of Halloween fun hangover, scrambling to pack lunches, forgetting soccer bags, remembering last night’s missed obligations, rushing off to school, costumes still on the ground topped with sweet morning prayers, deep laughs, flipping through the evening’s pictures and big hugs} it was the perfect dose of encouragement this Momma needed! I hope you too are blessed and encouraged this day!
Sounds like our mornings started very similarly. Did you also drag a tootsie pop out of one of your kids’ mouths?
Ha, close…there was certainly a debate on whether or not candy corn is a suitable breakfast substitute.
I’m so excited for you and this book Lisa-Jo. I feel like we come at motherhood with a somewhat similar experience and heart. I love how you cheer us on. You are a gift.
Yes, someone was telling me about your session and it made me think we need to compare notes one of these days….
… ah … where were you three decades ago? your words, your grace would have been my salvation!
how VERY exciting!!! Cheering loudly from Chicagoland for you & I personally cannot wait to read this one from another mom who never expected to be a mom, much less a mom to 4 {3 boys & a girl}!
So incredibly thrilled for you, sweet Lisa-Jo. And so thrilled for all the mamas who will benefit from your words in a book. Cheering you on!!!
Well it’s about time!! I’m kidding…and I’m not. Because I know so many mamas who need to hold this hope in their hands. Who need to see grace in this tangible way. And soon they’ll get to!
Love watching what God can do through you…if I’m bursting with pride I can’t even imagine what happens when He looks at you…
Thank you for being so transparent, Lisa-Jo, so we can see how He works through you!
Proud of you, girlfriend. I can not wait to read your book. Motherhood is an amazing, wild and crazy journey.
Thanks for being awesome. -Kashoan
I’m not a mom yet. I’m one of those girls who always thought she would be by the time mid twenties rolled around. Those years came and they went quietly, and late 20s are the days when I relish holding my sweet niece and nephew, and thanking God for the “mommy moments”, and for the truth that He knows exactly what He’s doing with each one of our lives. I still hold the hope that one day, hard as I know it will be, I’ll get the awesome privilege of holding our own wee one.
And even if not…I’m excited about this book. Your intro video brought tears to my eyes because I know it will be real and beautiful and that is the kind of books that I love best. <3
I don’t know how you make me cry just by talking about motherhood, but you do. And I love seeing your face and hearing your voice! So proud of you, honored to be your pal, praying you through this process. xoxo
I don’t often wish I could go back to those days you describe with such an honest heart Lisa-Jo, but just for this moment I do. With a copy of your book sitting on my night table.
The video brought joyful tears. I am cheering you on. Adding you to my list of friends writing books so I can pray you through this.
Love you!
I love it when my favorite bloggers post videos. This is the first time I personally, have seen one from you and it was a joy to get a glimpse of your personality and sweet spirit. They only add to the encouraging words that come from you each time you post. Hugs.
Lisa-Jo, I am not even a mother, and I adore you. I was at Allume last weekend, and I just loved your spirit as you read, and I loved your words. I am cheering you on here from non-motherhood! And I was head captain of my cheerleading squad back in high school, so you should be able to hear me! Don’t make me get my megaphone! Congrats to you! I know it will be a lovely book. Best wishes every step of the way!
This is so exciting!!! It will be a blessing. You are a blessing.
Congrats, Lisa-Jo! You are encouraging so many women now, and with your book, you will be a blessing to that many more women. Look forward to hearing more …blessings
I love you, my beautiful friend. I love all of your words, and your message, and your South African voice. Thank you for getting up at 5am to write this for us. I can’t wait to hold this book in my hands.
Oh, sweet Lisa-Jo. I saw this earlier today and my heart was so happy, but just now, listening to you in that video & seeing you in action this weekend at Allume, it does my heart good. You are such a community maker and a builder-upper, and you sharing your story is a good, good thing. I’m with Ashleigh – cannot wait to hold your book in my hands! Wahooo!
I got all misty and I’m just…well, I’m just so glad you’re writing this! I’m here for the journey and cheering you on every step of the way!
You know what it’s like when you imagine how people sound based on what you know of them from their writing or their image or even their tweets and FB posts? Well, your voice didn’t match my perception of you but not in a bad way. Know what I heard in your voice? That you are calm and steady and gentle and strong. Oh, and beautiful. So beautiful!
Congratulations on writing the story. Thanks for all the encouragement in this space, to do the same.
So excited! Love the song you started with (Heather’s Song). Had a tear in my eye even before you started speaking. Bring on May 2014!! I hope that the book will be available outside the USA… I think the book will be such a perfect mother’s day/baby shower present. There is something just precious about seeing what you are going through/feeling in writing and knowing that you aren’t alone. And that some beautiful lady has been brave enough to write it down for the world to see.
What a beautiful post. Having traveled down this road with you, I just want you to know how amazingly proud I am of you. I have always thought you were the greatest mom from day #1. However, God has truly given you a special gift of connecting moms everywhere with insights we all need to hear. I’m excited to see where this road leads.
Your voice is one of pure honesty and all mommas need more of that…AND once it is published…find a way to get it in the hands of MOPS international because it is sounds like something they would be interested in. I am sending prayers and CONGRATS on the courage and I know everyone will be blessed by your writing as you have blessed us with your blog. Thank you for putting what motherhood REALLY looks like out there!
Lisa-Jo, I hardly know where to begin. I ABSOLUTELY adore you! God is SO good to me by bringing certain people into my life that shape me. You are most DEfINITELY one of those people! Every word that you write breathes life & encouragement into my soul. I am incredibly blessed to have you in my life. I can’t wait for the day (hopefully soon) that you and I can share the same space and I can hug your neck! I am SO proud of you & expectant about how The Lord is going to impact lives through your book.
My question is…On your video you said that you never thought you wanted kids. Why? How did you feel when you found out that you were pregnant? When did those feelings change?
So proud of you. So excited for you. Love reading your words. You are an encourager, a true believer in this journey of mamahood we all adore and yet, wrestle with as well. I feel like we know each other so well, you speak so closely to my heart. So exciting!!!!
I’m happy and pleased and proud of you friend. THIS is such a large part of your heart, and here you go pulling it all together and putting it in one place.
I’m pass the needing of it but not knowing those who might.
xo
Sweet sister,
I have only been blogging a year and I feel like God has used blogging to show me He has made me a writer. I remember telling my husband I couldn’t be a ‘real’ writer because I don’t like deadlines or I don’t want to be told what to write….well I stumbled upon this well and the FMF challenge and I did my second one this week. God has used you to challenge me and stir me to love and good deeds. I am thanking Him for you.
About your book…I’m excited! Motherhood came softly for me because my mom left when I was 3 and I was raised by my Marine Daddy and I never wanted to be a mom for fear I couldn’t be one. I ran from being a mama even after the birth of my two kids. I didn’t take off physically but I did mentally by spending more hours at work than home, leaving day care to raise them. Then I met Jesus Christ in the Spring of 2009 and I am truly a new creation! I say I went from combat boots (was in the military) to high heels (was in the corporate world) to bare feet. I say bare feet because Job 12:17 says, “He makes counselors walk barefoot”. As I disciple my children I counsel them praying they will know and love the Wonderful Counselor for themselves. It will be 3 years this spring that I’ve been home with them–how does a woman not raised by her mother be a mother? God. For me the first two years I did not read anything but the Bible, it was God through His Word and Holy Spirit that has guided me. I’m curious if you are going to share specifics on what He has shown you? Especially that illuminating moment when you realized the calling He has given you. (You may have addressed these on your blog, but I’m new so I got a lot of catching up to do) . I will pray for you as you write for the heart He has given you. You are a wonderful exhorter and I’m cheering and praying for you!
SO excited for you. xoxo
Lisa-Jo, I am finally writing a comment here . .. even though I first read this exciting post the morning it posted! I am so super excited about this book–but even more so grateful for the encouragement you give sister writers in writing it–your heart and wisdom upon the page. You do it here, on your blog, and we gobble it up. But then there will be so many more women–moms who so desperately need hope and a hand to hold–that will receive your words, through the book, too–moms who may not read words on a screen. So thank you for your courage and demonstrating what it looks like to trust Him with the gifts He gives.
Who sings that song and what is the name of it?
