Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m talking with Amanda White, a stay-at-home mom who blogs at ohAmanda.com.
As a former children’s pastor who oversaw, organized and developed a ministry for children, nursery through middle school, Amanda is now using up her skills on her own kids, and through her writing.
Amanda lives in Georgia with her husband and two children, and is the author of Truth in the Tinsel: An Advent Experience for Little Hands, which you can get for 20% OFF today by entering the coupon code: mudstories.
In this episode, Amanda shares about:
- Her two church job losses
- Being wounded by the sinful choices of other Christians
- And the feelings of disappointment that came with the loss of her dreams
We discuss:
- How difficult it is to believe things are for our good, even when things seem impossible
- The importance of accepting the now, and just doing the next right small thing
- The truth that God really does have a plan for our dreams
- And the hope that comes as we look back and see how God really does fulfill dreams within us that we never dared to dream at all
Mud Stories 021: God restores lost dreams as we do the next thing, no matter how small. [Tweet that]

SCRIPTURE:
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things— and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God— that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:27-30
