In today’s episode, you’ll hear all about what she’s got going on in the homeschooling, adoption, and writing arenas. She shares some amazing stories here. Seriously, I cried during recording. It was that good.

Tricia was contacted to write the novel after the movie was created, what a switch! After watching the movie many times, Tricia got it — and more, she identified to the different characters — that was her at different times of her life. With Christian undertones the book speaks to each of us, who have been overwhelmed.

Encouragement, refreshment, and truth from writers, for writers. Every writer, at some point, faces the deep places of crushing trials and struggles. But the deep is also a place where we can learn to abide in God as never before. This podcast reminds writers they’re not alone, and equips and helps them to embrace the deep, to discover their truest voice and message, and to share it with refined craft and renewed passion.

Tricia’s thoughts of the deep…

“I love that you brought God’s word into it. I think in my story it has been getting to know God’s word, really spending time with Him, but then actually doing what it says. So when God says care for the widows, care for the orphans, tell the gospel to those in need, it’s actually doing what He says. When I do that, that’s where the deep trouble comes… but then having Him show up again and again and again.”

Important Takeaways from Show

• When dealing with a strong-willed child our bodies will naturally begin to react, but we can choose what to do with that.
• We win when we stay calm.
• Our calm presence can calm our child.
• When emotions are peaked, we cannot think rationally.
• You don’t have to solve the problem immediately. Sometimes everyone needs space to process things.
• Our identity is not found in how well-behaved our kids are.
• Let your kids know you are aware of their emotions. Labeling your child’s emotions helps open the door to talking about them.

• Giving other parents grace helps us to give grace to ourselves.
• Don’t worry about the problem, rather focus on investing time with your child.
• Our kids will be more likely to receive advice when we’ve bonded with them.
• Take your emotions to God and trust the Holy Spirit to work and bring His fruit (love, joy, peace) in your life.
• Respect your kids with your words. Teach them your family values through word and action.
