Life With The Clarks Podcast

This episode took a much larger turn than I expected! A few things mentioned may not be for a little ears just FYI (blood, surgery, death are touched on at one point in the story.)
 
Instead of talking about the past of Arizona I talk to you today about my twins birth story, how homeschool is going for us, some sewing projects I’ve worked on recently and other things that are bringing JOY to our lives.
I may talk about Arizona again in the future, but that story doesn’t live in this house anymore. It was a rental in time for our family and honestly I’m not ready to talk about it without feeling negative feelings.

Life threw us a curve ball I never saw coming when we decided Arizona was where we needed to be. 


 
I thought I was discerning in the way Jesus speaks to me and I told my oldest son last night that it was a hard season and I did not see it before yesterday, but I learned more about Jesus and God’s love for us and the depths of spiritual layers, so to speak, that are on this earth. 


 
My lack of judgement took the low grounds so I am rewording how I felt to better serve my purpose here hanging out with you.

What a day! This podcast was recorded on a whim and I was not prepared for all of the technical issues that would arise. The sound is iffy but I went ahead and shared because I feel like there is a *tiny* ounce of hope in there for you!

Listen as I explain what's been going on and why it's going on and what's to come!
I know I don't have to explain our life choices, but I really feel like I will feel better if I put our decision reasoning out in the world. 
We've been experiencing spiritual warfare and being under spiritual attack and I give a little intro of what's been going on in that sense. 
I read a little bit from Acts 9 about Paul, who was Saul, and how he was changed immediately. There is hope for even the worst of sinners!

For a long time I've had to really come to grips with motherhood.
On top of feeling inadequate and unworthy to raise actual human beings, I was embarrassed for even getting pregnant in the first place! Even though I was married! 
Here's a few lessons I've learned throughout my years as a mama and how I've kind of transformed into being a new mama for my children over the last twelve years.

These get easier then they get harder again! 
I didn't prepare anything for today's episode, but I think I "winged it" pretty confidently... for the most part.
There's been a lot a lot going on in our lives, behind the scenes lately, so this is really therapeutic for me to get my words out without having to immediately work through the feelings that go with the thoughts I have.
Either way, if anything, I've learned and am still learning that it's okay to make mistakes, feel like you're doing things all wrong and it's okay to change your mind. 
If there's anything I don't want to do, it's live a boring life. Of course, I don't want to be risky and dangerous, but I want to take chances and make the memories.

Yup, you read that right. LOL. I get a little vulnerable here.I didn't want to come on and record today. I felt too "seen" and out there. My friends have been calling me out and wanting to talk about the hard things. Which I truly do love, even though I try to say I don't. Being a grownup and making new friends can be SO hard! That's why we have to be extremely diligent and discerning.Listen about a "friendship" that caught fire and burned out just as quick, while leaving a huge trail of problems. How did it even happen?! I don't know. But I've learned to be more careful in the future.What brought you here today? I hope you enjoyed the episode and will come back to talk again soon! Support the showI feel pretty ordinary, but I also know I serve an extraordinary Lord and I have some things to say!

Whew the stress of the holidays really takes a toll on my emotions.In this episode we chat about Christmas, campers, mom life and guilt. I feel very vulnerable in a few places because being a mama is such a sensitive and tough season. If you're not into campers or information on camper life just fast forward a little bit because I accidentally rambled on it for a bit, but it's not what the episode meat and potatoes is meant to be.I'm still so thankful you're here to hangout with me and share this season of motherhood and wife-hood and just life in general.You are precious for using your precious minutes of the day to listen to what I have to say, and if you enjoyed what you hear I would love for you to share my podcast with a friend or download the episodes. My channel gets "out there" better when there are supporters that "like" and comment, so I'm grateful for you to do just that!The quote I read at the end was a good one, so I'm sharing it here:"Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone elses happiness and well-beingahead of your own.To Teach the hard lessons.To do the right thing, even when you're not sure what the right thing is.And to forgive yourself,over and over againfor doing everything 'wrong'"- Donna BallAs always, go find me on social media @lifewiththeclarks on IG @daintymae_thriftsor on Facebook at Life With The Clarks or my sewing page, Black Pearl StitcheryYour support here is more valued than you realize!!If you'd like to become a financial partner, at just $3 a month, you will help me keep my words a'comin'! I don't usually stick to things for long but I honestly feel like I have a LOT that will be helpful to generations of mothers around me. Seriously, just $3 a month to become a Patron on my Patreon account will blow my family out of the water. If I ever decide to quit the podcast, it'll be cancelled so no worries there! And be on the lookout for my Camper Series and Ebook I wrote about finding the perfect camper! I can't wait until we can talk again! Until next time, HAPPY NEW YEAR!Support the showI feel pretty ordinary, but I also know I serve an extraordinary Lord and I have some things to say!
