Running Through the Raindrops: Finding Joy in the Chaos of Raising Kids

Lori has come up with the following rules for motherhood: 1) Running away doesn’t solve anything—you’ll miss the chaos and go back before you thought you would. 2) Don’t sweat the small stuff, like housework.

If we trust in God, even when we can’t see where he is leading us, we receive unexpected blessings that we wouldn’t have dreamed to ask for!
