A Young Mom Ministers to Children with Special Needs in West Africa: Meghan Liddy (Episode 16)

12/15/15 • 44 min

Meg is a mom of two through adoption, living on the mission field in West Africa. I love Meg, and I love her heart and her adventurous spirit, but what strikes me is how young she is, and I mean that in a good way. Meg is in her early 20’s and she’s been on the mission field since she was 18. If you are anywhere around my age (I’m 37), think back to what you were doing in your late teens/early 20s. I was not on the mission field, I’ll tell ya that. The thought never crossed my mind at that point. I didn’t really make my faith my own until my mid 20s, and it took me a long time to figure out God’s mission for my me. Meg is already in the thick of it. I can’t imagine the plans God has for her life and she has so many years ahead of her to do the work.

Flower Patch Farmgirl Blooms in the City: Shannan Martin (Episode 15)

Today I’m talking to Shannan Martin. Shannon is a wife and mom of 4 who writes about Life, Adoption, Faith, and Home Decorating on her website, flowerpatchfarmgirl.com.

In this interview we talk about what it looks like to sell your dream home and move to a neighborhood which is, as she puts it, on the wrong side of the tracks. Shannan continuously looks for ways to build community with her neighbors. How can we incorporate that into our own lives. What practical needs can we meet every day to ease the burdens of others and show them the love of Jesus? We’ll get into all of that.

Shannon and I also talk about the day a major decorating magazine photographed her kitchen, and later I find out what tv shows she’s currently binging on. You know...the really deep stuff. Shannon is adorable and you’re going to love her, so let’s get started.

Heather Creekmore is a wife, mom, writer, and speaker who is passionate about helping women overcome their body image issues.

I really enjoyed this conversation, but it showed me how much of a distraction my body image is in my everyday life. If you struggle in this area, I am so there with you. Since I have zero words of wisdom on this topic, let’s go ahead and hear straight from Heather.
