All the Things
About this audiobook
All the Things reminds us that motherhood is an all-encompassing art. It is ever-flowing and changing in its daily beauty and struggles. It is lifelong sanctification of hearts and minds. It is both the releasing of what we thought would be and embracing what truly matters. Most of us never anticipated the constant molding our hearts and minds would endure when we started our journeys. If we believed what the media tries to sell us, then all we needed was a well-stocked diaper stash, clothes that were prewashed and folded neatly, and a nursery color coordinated and filled with lovely things. However, motherhood is none of that. All the Things reminds us that what we truly need to be a mother can't be put in a nursery or tucked in a monogrammed backpack. It is wrapped in the friendships forged and the lessons we learn along the way. These lessons continue as nurseries change to toddler forts and then to teenage lairs. From season to season, the things that are most important in motherhood aren't things that can be held or truly seen at all. They ebb and flow from one momma's heart to another. They are the deep-rooted relationships of those on the journey with us that create a beautiful piece of artwork we call motherhood. All the Things breathes life into all the unspoken needs women have when navigating the journey of motherhood. From the need for authentic friendships to the struggles of losing oneself in the journey, Schindler writes with humor, honesty, and shares pertinent examples of God's grace through it all. This book will become one of the first ones you recommend for both new moms starting out and seasoned ones who are deep in the journey.
