014 Unequally Yoked With Wendy Clark

014 Unequally Yoked With Wendy Clark

My weekly recap:

  • General confession: awesome, emotional, healing.  More details to come
  • We took on Disney World during Holy Week/Easter.  It was equally exhausting and amazing!
  • How the donut debacle and my coming unhinged Easter Sunday morning gave me some beautiful insights into Jesus’ unmerited love for me

This week, I shared a conversation I had with my friend, Wendy Clark.  We talked about what it means to be “unequally yoked” in a relationship (2 Corinthians 6:14), how she navigated those waters with her college boyfriend (who eventually became her husband), and where they are in their faith journey today.  I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I think you’ll be surprised by Wendy’s advice at the end.

012 When A Child Has Special Needs With Mary Lenaburg

012 When A Child Has Special Needs With Mary Lenaburg

Mary’s beautiful daughter, Courtney, had global developmental delays and lived for 22 years until she went on to her heavenly reward 3 years ago.  In our conversation today, Mary and I focused on what Mary’s life looked like as a mother to a child with profound special needs.  We talked about:

  • a “typical” day with Courtney & her routine medical needs
  • healing from woundedness and moving past guilt
  • a change in attitude about self-care
  • marriage and having a child with special needs
  • grieving a child’s death with a spouse
  • looking back & being honest
  • parish support and general thoughts on how the Church is supporting families that have someone with special needs
  • what’s making Mary happy lately (big and small)
