Welcome to Anchors of Encouragement. I’m Tim Maudlin: Husband, Adoptive Parent, Disciple of Christ, and Ambassador of Encouragement. I too felt the joy of having a family of my own and I wished we could be like other families. But I found myself up late at night, anxious about my child’s future and asking myself, ”Why is this happening? Am I a failure as a parent?” It was only by grabbing a lifeline from God and my friends that I was able to navigate the challenges of adoptive life. And now I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned with you. My mission is to be your friend and encourager, to throw adoptive parents a lifeline, and offer biblical mindset support as you partner with Christ, providing stability as your anchor when you need it the most.

    162 – Embracing the Gift of Time With Journaling
    Nov 30 2024

    Whenever life is interrupted, whenever you lose a loved one, or whenever you turn around and all of a sudden your kids are grown, it’s then that a lot of people understand just how precious time is.

    Hi Neighbor!⁣

    Are you grateful for the time you have? We all have a finite amount of time. We just don’t know how finite.

    Whenever life is interrupted, it reminds us of how precious time is. Reflecting on time can deepen our appreciation for the moments we often take for granted. In this journaling episode, I want to encourage you to evaluate the things you spend your time on. With an attitude of gratitude toward your time, you will live life more deliberately.

    “I’m so glad we had this time together!”

    Hope and Healing are on the way.

    Your Neighbor,⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tim⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
