Our lives have multiple intersections--family, career, wellness, community, spiritual--that buoys us towards joy. When one feels off, nothing really feels settled. 

Struggling with Finding Purpose
& Joy at Home?

Feeling overwhelmed with parenting? This book, written when I was in the trenches with a 5 yr, 3 yr & a newborn at home, is the story of how I discovered the gifts and holy calling hidden in the events of harried family life. Take reassurance in my own story of how in the most mundane and ordinary days of motherhood, and in moments of exhilaration, joy, and beauty, you are doing a good thing.

"With humor and spunk, Rachel takes us on a wondrous, demanding Emmaus journey all her own, where she recognizes God and returns to spread the word.  Good news for other parents needing encouragement in their own parenting!"

"As Rachel so beautifully reminds us here, God walks beside us.  We are not alone in this journey. 
Even at our most lonely and discouraged, God has given us everything we need."
