CALLING ALL MOMS!! My friend's at Hope on the Hard Road are having a Mom's Day Out in May that you don't want to miss. The cost is minimal-$18 and it will refresh your spirit. Spending a day with other moms that are walking your same journey. It's just down in Vista (San Diego here we come). So get a couple of friends and drive down together (with masks of course) and spend a day connect with others and just having a fun and relaxing time.

Do know the exhaustive toll of parenting a child with serious mental illness, especially over the long haul Pastor Rick Warren and his wife, Kay often felt isolated and alone, misunderstood and judged by outsiders, and lived with constant emotional and physical chaos in their home. Over time, they began to realize that they needed to find ways to take care of themselves while continuing to be engaged in their son's care. They developed spiritual, emotional, and physical pr...actices that strengthened their reserves and created ways to "breathe" in the middle of incredible stress. If you resonate with this, please join Kay Warren for BREATHE: A Half-Day Online Retreat for Parents of Children with Mental Illness on Saturday, March 27, 2021, from 9:00am - 12:00pm PT to talk about the reality of the struggle, grieve together, and point each other toward hope. This gentle, half-day retreat includes messages, workshops, opportunities to hear from and connect with other parents, and intentional time to commune with God. If you have a child of any age who has mental illness, I hope to see you there. Please register at: www.KayWarren.com/Breathe

You go Jake!! With God all things are possible!! ENJOY!!
