What if you were just told you had a terminal illness that would totally take away your ability to walk, talk, and function on your own? Would you continue to walk that journey with a smile on your face?
That's what Chris Douglas did, husband to our guest today on Holly's Highlights, Peggy Douglas. That smile on his face was contagious and helped his family walk firmly in their faith as they journeyed the path of ALS together.
Check out what Peggy shares with us brought them hope and a lifting of their face through one of their toughest challenges in life, and how she felt equipped for the task at hand.

Today we have David Figueroa who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at a young age. He'll walk us through some of his challenges faced, give us an inside perspective of how he embraced hope through these challenges, and even odds broke as he persevered and now serves as a mentor and advocate for youth.
For one who was told he'd never walk, you'll have goose bumps as he shares of one of his proudest moments despite having Cerebral Palsy. You won't want to miss this inspiring interview with David on Holly's Highlights podcast.

4 tips to embracing hope through the heartaches of motherhood
1 RecommendationsAs my children get older I realize more and more that our time with them is limited. Just the other day I saw a photo of a peaceful spot my daughter and I used to go - and there instead were her and her friends together. It is during these moments I reflect on my mother and the times I shared with her and I give thanks for having such a great role model of being a mom, knowing when to cherish the times, and when to let go and watch your child(ren) fly.
Today on Holly's Highlights podcast we will look at 4 tips on embracing hope through the heartaches of motherhood. From the discouragements and watching our children face consequences in life, to the important role we play and enjoying each season we find ourselves in with our kiddos, we'll learn:
1. that it's worth it
2. not to take full credit, nor all the blame
3. the importance of being their parent
4. intentionally being in the moment
Our children spreading their wings and flying is perfectly normal and healthy. No matter the stage of life they are in may we always choose to embrace hope through the heartaches of motherhood.
For more on this topic I highly recommend the following resources:
Babywise books for new moms
Homebuilders parenting series for those with school aged children (this makes a great small group study too)
Family Camp at Glorieta in New Mexico (mention Holly’s Highlights podcast to inquire about a first time discount)
