You are not. Hope is here. Let’s walk together. Copyrighted material Hope for the Weary Mom.indd 4 9/25/14 11:06 AM Acknowledgments Stacey Mike: Thank you for your love, support, and believing I am a writer. I could not have done this without your support. Thanks for helping to make my dream come true. My girls: I am the most blessed mom in the world to have you as daughters. Thanks for cheering for mommy and for giving me time to write each day. You are awesome and I love you very much. Mom: We have learned this year that hope is the anchor that holds us in all things. I love you so much and am proud to be the daughter of such a brave woman. Dad: You have seen face to face what we only see dimly now. I’m so glad we have the hope of heaven and eternity together. I miss you every day. Robin, Angie, Tanya, Krystal, Emily, and Gretchen: Thank you for taking the time to read rough chapters and for encouraging me. I was able to trust you with my heart on the page because you are more like sisters than friends. Kristin: Thank you for listening to the Lord and for seeing what “Hope” could be. Your love and support mean the world to us. Brooke: I can’t believe I get to be on this journey with you. I love seeing Jesus shine through your words and ministry. You are a gift to me, sweet friend. Chip: Thank you for believing in “Hope” and finding the perfect home for it. I am truly grateful for your support and hard work. Kathleen and the Harvest House Publishers Team: Thank you for saying yes and giving us a chance to reach even more moms with “Hope.” It has been an honor partnering with you! Jesus: Thank you for seeing me in my mess and meeting me in the broken place. You loved me too much to leave me there, and called me out into a place of “Hope.” May you be glorified through this humble offering and touch every heart who reads it. Copyrighted material Hope for the Weary Mom.indd 5 9/25/14 11:06 AM Brooke Cory: Thank you for just doing. For cleaning, washing, bathing, feeding, teaching, and all of the other things you did so I could have time to write. You’re a gift to me. Boys: You’re the reason for this book, but even on the hardest days I’m still so very thankful that I get to be your mama. Thank you for keeping me des- perate for Jesus, and for always giving me big, squishy boy hugs when I need them. You’re my favorite boys in the world! Mom and Dad: You’ve always believed in my dreams. Now, as an adult, I can clearly see that you’ve not only believed in my dreams, but sacrificed for them as well. I can only hope to love my children so well. Thank you for cutting your trip to Florida short to come home so I could have time to finish this book. I couldn’t have done it without you. Jamie and Meggen: Thank you so much for cheering me on, encouraging me to keep going, and for the way you have served me throughout the last diffi- cult season of my life. I won’t forget. Kristin: You listened to the Lord. Thank you. Tracey Lane: Thank you for letting me into your heart and for talking so freely about Jarrett. I’m privileged to have known him. Stacey: I can’t imagine writing this book with anyone else. If I had to be “stuck” with someone, I’m sure glad it was you! I’m so grateful for your words of advice and encouragement, both in this book and in my life. Erin Mohring, Jamie Soranno, and Logan Wolfram: Thank you for helping me brainstorm Mommy strengths and for sharing your stories. Chip MacGregor: You believed in us and in the need to keep reaching out to weary moms. Thank you for catching the vision and for championing it for us in ways that went above and beyond the call of duty. We’re so grateful for you. Lysa TerKeurst: You have been such a gift. Thank you for your encourage- ment, wisdom, and expert input on this manuscript. We’re grateful for you and the ministry of Compel. The Hope for the Weary Mom launch team: No words really cut it. Thank you for your faithful prayers, feedback, and encouragement to get this mes- sage out. You are grace to us. My Jesus: You’re enough. Copyrighted material Hope for the Weary Mom.indd 6 9/25/14 11:06 AM Foreword From One Weary Mom to Another ou’d think that because I’ve written a few books for parents and, oh, about a gazillion parenting articles and blogs I’d Y have this mothering thing down. I’ve been a mom for a while, so that should help too. The truth is, at the time I’m writing this my kids are ages 24, 21, 19, 6, 3, and 3. And I’m weary. WEARY. I get a lot of responses when I tell people that I’m a mom of six children. And then when I tell their ages people really get con- fused. After raising our three oldest children almost to adulthood, God led John and me to adopt three more. We adopted Alyssa (one of the three-year-olds) at birth, and just last year we adopted Bella (six), and Casey (three) from the foster care system. To be com- pletely honest I thought it would be easier the second time around. I learned how to set priorities and to focus on what’s truly impor- tant while not trying to compare myself to others. After raising three kids—the feeding and fretting, bathing and battling, caring and correcting—you’d think I’d have this mom thing figured out.

    Old Bush Songs Composed and Sung in the Bushranging, Digging and Overlanding Days Edited by Paterson, Andrew Barton (1864-1941) A digital text sponsored by University of Sydney Library Sydney 1999 http://setis.library.usyd.edu.au/ © 1999 University of Sydney Library.

First Published: 1905 821.08 Australian Etexts poetry verse 1890-1909 The Old Bush Songs Composed and Sung in the Bushranging, Digging and Overlanding Days Edited by A.B. Paterson Sydney Angus and Robertson 1905 Preface The object of the present publication is to gather together all the old bush songs that are worth remembering. Apart from other considerations, there are many Australians who will be reminded by these songs of the life of the shearing sheds, the roar of the diggings townships, and the campfires of the overlanders. The diggings are all deep sinking now, the shearing is done by contract, and the cattle are sent by rail to market, while newspapers travel all over Australia; so there will be no more bush ballads composed and sung, as these were composed and sung, as records of the early days of the nation. In their very roughness, in their absolute lack of any mention of home ties or of the domestic affections, they proclaim their genuineness.

  • Response Questions April 19
    Questions for Adults • We live in a dangerous, sin cursed world. God is acting to rescue us through the mission of Jesus Christ. How do you feel about Jesus, that he would leave the glory of heaven behind and enter this dangerous world to rescue you? How should we respond to Jesus' rescue mission? • Read 1 Corinthians 15:26. Death is identified as an enemy. How can you relate to this description? What encouragement do you find in the statement that death will be destroyed? • Pastor John mentioned that Christians responded differently from their neighbors during the Cyprian Plague of 250-270 AD. How can Christians respond to the Corona virus pandemic day to love and serve our neighbors? Questions for Families with Students and Youth I want you to imagine with me that you are living in the Star Wars universe prior to Episode IV, A New Hope. The Empire’s reach knows no limitations. The universe is in turmoil and despair. The galaxy is hopeless. This is the world in which Princess Leia records a message in which she asks for help from an old Jedi (you know the line from the movie), “Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.” • What about our world today? What are some things that make it seem that we are without hope? (think about top news stories) • The world is a mess, we are human beings full of sin and capable of hurting others. • However, Paul reminds us that we have something that has given us a hope greater than the sin and despair of this world we live in…what is it? hint- we just celebrated it (resurrection) Read 1 Corinthians 15: 30-33 in The Message Bible 30-33 And why do you think I keep risking my neck in this dangerous work? I look death in the face practically every day I live.

  • Three Songs of Reinmar Der Alee a Formal-Structural Interpretation
    This dissertation has been microfilmed exactly ss received 66-1860 WEDGWOOD, Stephen H ensleigh, 1936- THREE SONGS OF REINMAR DER ALTE: A FORMAL-STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION. The Ohio State University, Fh.D., 1965 Language and Literature, modem University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THREE SONGS OF REINMAR DER ALEE A FORMAL-STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stephen Hensleigh Wedgwood, A.B., M.A. The Ohio State University 1965 Approved by v Adviser, Department of German PREFACE The modern interpreter of medieval literature faces certain difficulties which are, by the nature of things, insurmountable. The most serious from a practi­ cal viewpoint is perhaps the lack of reliable texts. The manuscripts which transmit Reinmar's songs, for example, date at the earliest from the end of the thirteenth cen­ tury — nearly a century after the death of the poet. During the several generations which separate the songs' composition from their collection and copying in the various manuscripts, numerous corruptions, omissions, and rearrangements necessarily occurred which, despite the best efforts of distinguished textual scholars since Karl Lachmann and before, simply cannot be rectified. The critic, seeking to approach and understand Reinmar and the other Minnesingers, deals at best with an approxima­ tion of what the poet actually sang. In yet another sense our understanding of Rein- mar's songs can only be approximate. Reinmar, like his contemporaries, was as much composer as poet. Words and music of the Minnesanp; were created together, each song in its own characteristic "Ton," and undoubtedly the musi­ cal structure of the songs in large part determined their verbal form.

  • Fit for a King Summit 1-14-21 >>: Hello. I'm Michael Dunne, Board
    Fit for a King Summit 1-14-21 >>: Hello. I'm Michael Dunne, Board President of the Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center. Welcome to the 14th annual Fit for a King summit which is annual tribute to the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. This is our first virtual summit. We miss seeing you in person. Before we begin, we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge that any time we talk about housing, we are also talking about land, while we may be virtual this year, the land we occupy is indigenous land. I'm coming to you from what we now call New Orleans, but it was once known as -- a place of many tongues and home to tribes such as the Houma, and Choctaw tribes among others. As we talk today as displacement and resistance in Louisiana, we hope to honor this indigenous history in the ongoing struggle against colonialization of this land. We know this is important to remember as we combat environmental racism, our topic for today which has had devastating impacts on indigenous communities for generations. We also recognize that indigenous leaders have been at the forefront for fighting environmental justice. For environmental justice. We have lost family members, neighbors, and friends to the COVID 19 pandemic, particularly communities of color that have been hit hard due to generations of systematic racism. We watched as gorge Floyd and too many others were murdered. We've seen desperation grow as policy makers inability to prioritize health and safety has put 30 million at risk of eviction.

  • Memorial Service for the Crew of Sts-107
    Feb. 6, 2003 MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE CREW OF STS-107 JOHNSON SPACE CENTER FEBRUARY 4, 2003 TRANSCRIPT: RABBI HAROLD ROBINSON: The Hebrew Poet Bialic wrote: (Reciting Hebrew.) After my death, mourn me thus, there was a man and sea. He is no more. Before his time, his life was ended, and the melody of their lives were broken in its midst. Oh, they had one more melody and now that melody is lost, lost forever. Eternal God, when we view our little planet from out in space, we learn the unity of all humanity here on Earth. We are one as you are one. Did you not teach us this from the very beginning? As we read "And God created humanity in God's own image." Still the ancient Psalmist asked and prayed, “Eternal God, what are we that you have regard for us? What are we that you are mindful of us? We are like a breath, our days are as a passing shadow. We come and go like grass, which in the morning shoots up renewed and in the evening fades and withers. You cause us to revert to dust saying return, oh mortal creatures, would that we were wise that we would understand wither we are going, for when we die we carry nothing away; our glory does not accompany us. Mark the whole-hearted, behold the upright, for their end is peace. Oh God, you redeem the souls of all your servants and none of those who trust in you shall ever be forsaken.” (Reciting Hebrew.) May the abode of all creation grant consolation to all who mourn, comfort to all the bereaved, even here, oh God, you are the fountain from which our healing flows.

Whether we are talking about two people or two hundred people, any notion of Us presumes the individual—presumes the Me. And while for the sake of appearances we often project a Me that is stable and solid, completely put to- gether - for many of us the real Me is barely holding it together. We suppress. We ignore. We hide the truth of our lives, the truth of what it means to be Me. During these days and weeks of Lent we are hoping to be a safe place for you to be honest with all of who you are. We are inviting you to find strength and heal- ing by acknowledging that sometimes our lives are not perfectly put together.
