Hanging on By a Thread, But Stitched Up by Grace: How God Holds Us (and Our Little Ones) Together

Ever tried to trust God with everything—until it’s your child’s heart? In this week’s episode, Brianne shares the bumpy start to Abbie and Lilly’s new school: uniforms literally stitched together by Dad, a roster mix‑up that put our first‑grader on a kindergarten list, and the shaky courage it took to speak up.

We talk about trusting God not just with logistics, but with our kids’ hearts—especially when they might feel like an afterthought. Along the way, God exposed “cracks” in communication, invited honest advocacy, and reminded us He’s held our babies (and us) all along. Psalm 139:13 (NIV) says, “you knit me together in my mother’s womb,” and Luke 12:7 (NIV) reminds us “the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Not a tidy bow yet—just faith woven into real life.
