Ep 272 A Mom Without Regrets Who Loves and Forgives with Rhonda Stoppe

Today I’m wearing an apron because we are talking about motherhood! I used to think that to be a single woman on the mission field was the hardest job in the world and then I became a mother. There are no handbooks to warn you but we do have a guide book that tells us where to go for help. Praise God for that.   Have you ever thought or even prayed: I'll be a better mom tomorrow but tomorrow never comes? You're not alone—and neither were the moms in Scripture. Today I’m delighted to welcome back author, speaker, podcaster—Rhonda Stoppe to talk about her latest book, the just released: Moms of the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed and Faithful Rhonda's new book is her favorite and she's offering one as a giveaway so be sure to leave a comment or email me at sue@welcomeheart.com Rhonda Stoppe, speaker and bestselling author of seven books with 40 years experience helping women build no regrets lives. We talk about that on my podcast in Ep 46 here. Find and follow Rhonda at NoRegretsWoman.com.  Some gems from our conversation: The Lord had to break me before he could use me. Four years of post partum and hormonal imbalance took me to the end of myself. I needed help and I got it. People want to hear from people who have regrets so that they can hear how God redeemed their mistakes. The first step in forgiving our own flawed parent is to admit they were flawed.  Hatred keeps us stuck so we begin by handing over our anger and resentment to God and let him deal with it. When our kids see us doing good to others, they will understand the Gospel. I felt so lonely as a mom and God led me to godly moms who led me to a deeper study of the Word. With God's help, you can become the mom that he's calling you to be.  The Gospel transformed my life; I want my children and grandchildren to see me sharing that message of hope to others.     ~~~   Do you prefer watching while listening?  We are on YouTube:     Welcome Heart: Knowing & Showing the Heart of God
