Connect to your adult child - Love them like a stranger

Hey friends, I am so happy to be sharing this episode with you today!
Do you find it easier to be kind, open-minded, and patient with a stranger than with your own adult child?
In this heartfelt episode, we're unpacking what it means to "love them like a stranger." It may sound odd at first, but here's the truth: many Christian moms extend more grace to strangers at church or in the grocery line than to their own grown children. We expect our kids to think like us, act like us, and keep the family traditions. And when they don't? We feel rejected, confused, or even disrespected.
But what if the key to connection is releasing the reins and choosing curiosity over control?
I’ll share practical and biblical wisdom for:
Reframing your role as a mom to an adult child
Letting go of unspoken expectations and traditions
Responding with interest instead of instruction
Reserving judgment so connection can grow
Seeing your adult child as an individual, not a project
This episode is a gentle call to shift from parent-as-director to parent-as-listener. Because loving well doesn’t always mean agreeing—it means making space for relationship and letting go of control.
💡 Whether your child has left the faith, rejected your values, or simply grown into someone you don’t understand… this episode will help you build bridges without compromising your beliefs.

I can do what I want; The power of Spiritual Freedom

Hi Friends, are you struggling with wanting to do a thing but feel doubt or shame about it? 
What if you did what you really wanted to do and stopped listening to your, or anyone else's voice that would want to keep you down?  What if you believed that the Lord is your shepherd and your present help so that you could walk confidently in freedom? (1 Corinthians 2:16) What would you do today if you were to experience the greatest sense of freedom,  knowing that your heart is in line with God's plan for your life and that you can trust your desires?  How amazing, right?!!  You can practice this feeling right now.  I pray that you will ask God to give you full confidence in the promise to guide you and keep you so that you can experience the childlike faith of knowing nothing that you or anyone else does can ever separate you from his love. If you want to truley experience this love you must believe in His word.  He says that He will always love us and never forsake us! The knowledge and the feeling of His redeeming and unchaging love is glorious!  
Go ahead and drop me a line anytime, I look forward to hearing from you @ carrieallemeersch@gmail.com

How is going to your husband first, keeping you from growing spiritually?

One of the best things about having a relationship with God is that He speaks to us personally, right where we are at.  This week I will challenge the status quo of many Christian housewives who may be going to their husband with their troubles and trials first, instead of taking all of her cares directly to Jesus and trusting that she will  hear from Him. 
As always you are invited to reach out to me through email or text. I look forward to hearing from you today.
(Happy Mother's Day Ladies!)
