Today's conversation is with the lovely Taylor Church! Taylor is a wife, mother and photographer living in Eugene, Oregon. This episode was recorded while Taylor was pregnant with her son, Curren, and the timing of this release is special because he was born three weeks ago now! It's sweet because in this conversation she shares all that her & her husband have been dreaming, hoping and praying for as they awaited and prepared for Curren's birth. Taylor talks about the important role of parents being ambassadors for God as they raise their children and how she's preparing her heart with that truth. Taylor also opens up honestly about her journey into motherhood as she has walked through the pain and grief of miscarriage. She shares her heart deeply on loss along with the ways the Lord met her amidst the grief through her community of friends & family. Toward the end of the conversation, we chat about how Taylor cultivates contentment and also we dive into how she values quality over quantity in her life, style and home.
