3 kids; 16, 14, 9. I have a full-time job in ministry. They have multiple activities & I figure out a way to always show up for my kids.
We would like to thank you for supporting Jessica Mowery in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.
Having two teenagers now has been so rewarding, watching them grow and mature. When you're in the trenches with young kids, it's hard to see what you are teaching them is sticking with them. As my older kids have grown, I love seeing them interact with their friends and be leaders in their teams. When a teacher or parent reaches out to tell me something good that our kids have done always warms our hearts. It makes those younger years even more worth it.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Motherhood has taught me that giving grace is necessary. I have to give myself as much grace as I give my kids. As they are learning & growing, so am I. Every day won't be perfect; some days I'll feel like I failed, but just like God gives grace to us, we have to give grace to ourselves. It's ok to ask for help, admit that I'm wrong & apologize.
What would you do with $20,000?$20,000 would have an enormous impact on our lives! Our kids have wanted a beach vacation for a while now. We just haven't been able to make it happen. The first thing I would do is book a vacation for the 5 of us! We also have some bathroom repairs that need to be taken care of. We only have 1 full bath in our home & the bath/shower needs to be replaced. We attempted a DIY bathtub/shower replacment and it needs to be redone.
