Nancy Eckhardt::Finding Your Fire

For our second speaker of the year, we heard from Nancy Eckhardt about her life journey of "finding her fire." If you take nothing else away from Nancy's story, it's her encouragement to us moms that though our fires may be embers during this season of parenting small kiddos, God is writing a bigger story with our lives and will fan those sparks into flames when the timing is right. In the end, Nancy reflects on how life means not following "the plan," but following God. Oh, and it may not always look the way we thought it was going to. So, there's that. :)
