Send me a text about this episode! Today’s guest was nominated by her daughter, Sydney, who wrote on the nomination form, "My mom has given her entire life to raising me and my six siblings. Five of us were adopted, many with trauma that needed special attention. She has shown strength and dignity through it all. She is an inspiration to me as I am a brand new homemaker and I believe her wisdom will be a blessing to many others." I am so thankful that Sydney nominated her mom, Heather Price, who has been keeping a home full time for 30 years with her husband. They have raised 7 and fostered many more and God has refined Heather through all the challenges of adopting traumatized and special needs kids. We talk about God’s faithfulness, the need to stay flexible, and to constantly remember His unchanging character and what He has done in the past. We cover all the usual ground of expectations, hospitality, fails, wins, and many more aspects of Heather’s homemaking journey over 3 decades.
