Molly Huffman and is my first guest for season two of Stories from South Place, the makers season! I had the best time talking to Molly and hearing her incredible story. Her story is one of loss, grief, heartache, and how God sustained her through it all. You can hear a lot of her story in this episode, but I'd encourage you to also head over to Amazon to grab a copy of her book that came out in May.

BONUS — Brighten & Grady's Story :: Life as brother and sister stuck at home with their mom who asks too many questions!
Today is Saturday, but it always kind of feels like Saturday around here in the Morales house now that we've been in quarantine for 41 days! Anyway, earlier this week we had almost a whole day that our power was out. As Jason and I swapped out who could use the internet hotspot to work, I took the kids up to the studio to play and I turned on the mic for a quick little interview fun. Crazy enough, my recording gear is all battery powered - lucky you!

Laura is my first guest who I've never actually met in person. Laura is an adoptive mom and we met in a Facebook group for parents who either were adopting or did adopt from Ethiopia. She and her husband, Tymm, live in Colorado with their children, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to chat with Laura and hear her incredibly heart-wrenching and also beautiful story. I kept thinking of the verse in Genesis when Joseph says, "You planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result--the survival of many people." (Genesis 50:20 CSB)

On this episode, Rachel and I talk about how fun it is to be neighbors, what we love about our neighborhood, her journey of becoming a doula, and we finish the episode by talking about our absolute most favorite Birmingham consignment sale, Kids Market & Mom!
