This picture fills me with such ... emotion. These amazing little girls. To see the life in their eyes. The dreams of their future.
And now, next year, I will no longer have a child in elementary school. Hannah will be in the sixth grade. The years of their lives just fly by.
And I have often wondered ... what does God have for me?
I can't be sure of course. And if all he had for me was being John's wife and taking care of our home and farm, I would be perfectly okay with that.
But I'm sensing that God may be taking me in another direction.
This breakdown I had in 2024 has hit me in so many ways. My growth has been monumental. My learning. My life. My faith. My growth. He is doing such beautiful things in my life. And, the people around me are coming along for the journey.
I have mentioned on the Blog before that ten other women have joined me for the 12x12 Conference with Adam Young.
However, in the course of this, I have had so many other women reaching out to me, in need of the same community and healing.
And so, this week, I started a second group! There are nine of us in this group, and unlike the previous one, we are completely virtual. Only one of the ladies is actually local. And one is as far away as Korea!
Numerous times one of the ladies has said to me, "Wendi, this is your calling."
I can't be sure. I don't know. But I think they may be right. I am looking into the Story Workshop Training at the Allender Center in Washington.
And I look at those little girls in the picture above, and I think, "I am doing this for you. And for your brothers. I am going to be the very best version of myself for YOU and for the children that may come after you. And for our community as a whole as well!"
I truly believe that everything I have faced in life to date, including living in various locations and our fertility journey and homeschooling and farming, has brought me to THIS PLACE where I want to help other women not live in the prisons they have found themselves in.
And I am soooo excited.
