In Today’s episode I’m chatting with Jamie Ivey, wife to Aaron, mom to 4 beautiful kids, and host of The Happy Hour Podcast with Jamie Ivey. Jamie resides with her family in Austin, Texas and has a passion for adoption, reading, date nights, Jesus, Mexican food, and traveling.
Jamie shares about her personal mud story including:
- Becoming sexually active at age 16, and the heartbreak that brings
- Choosing to party and drink in college
- Getting pregnant at 19, and then miscarrying
- Learning to have more open communication with her parents
- Meeting Jesus at the Passion Conference
- Getting engaged and breaking off the engagement
- And meeting her future husband, Aaron, and sharing with him her past
Jamie and I talk about:
- How God is in every moment of our lives
- How nothing is a mistake with Him
- How God’s forgiveness and grace free us
- And the hardship of mothering, including the crazy, chaos, and sometimes depression
We also take time at the end to share some things we are LOVING right now, and how to subscribe and listen to podcasts!
