Episode description
Teresa Swanstrom Anderson's house is bursting at the seams with the loves of her life - her husband and six children (four of whom were born in Ethiopia). In her "spare" time, she writes, speaks about motherhood, adoption, and following your passions, runs her popular blog, hosts gorgeous dinner parties, trains for half marathons, and infuses beauty into every corner of her Denver home. She believes in celebrating the everyday and instilling the love of God and others in her children's hearts. Her book first book, Beautifully Interrupted released on May 15th. Through it all, Teresa holds white-knuckled to joy amid the craziness of everyday life.
In this episode, Teresa shares how she went from not wanting children in her 20s to having a house full of kids today. She reminds us of the truth that God put each one of us here, in this time and place, for a purpose. You’ll learn about her struggle through a season of waiting for God to reveal His plan for her life and how she figured out that the direction she was headed wasn’t it. She also teaches us what happens when we forget that closed doors are actually an answer to prayer if we’re praying for doors to be opened.
