<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes you have to preach truth to yourself when the days are long and you feel inadequate. And oftentimes we need a friend or two to point out the truth. Jamie Ivey is on the podcast today to be that friend for us. She brings us into her personal struggles as a mom and reminds us that we aren’t alone in the struggle.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It brings me so much comfort that God is not surprised by our diagnoses. He is not surprised by our families. He's not surprised by our struggles. He's not surprised by our insecurities, but he is a God who's willing and ready to be with us in the midst of those.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you need a reminder that God made you to have your kids. He made your kids to be who they are with all their abilities and challenges. And he didn’t just create us and stand away distanced as we struggle in life. This episode is for you. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We talk about Jamie’s new children’s book</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/God-Made-You-Be/dp/1087734665"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">God Made You to Be You</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, but dive much deeper into what that message can mean to us as moms and how we can encourage our kids as they relate to others who are different than them. </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Jamie: </span></h2> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website: </span> <a href= "https://www.jamieivey.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">jamieivey.com</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facebook:</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/TheJamieIvey/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">facebook.com/TheJamieIvey</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram: </span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jamieivey/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@jamieivey</span></a></li> </ul> <p><span
