Practically Speaking Mom: Intentional Mom, Strong Family
Do you long to be a more intentional mom but you feel overwhelmed or weary or just don't have a clear path to the next step toward a successful family life? The Practically Speaking MOM, Val Harrison, is here to bring some order to the chaos and some focus to the confusion. You don’t have to be the perfect mom to have a strong family, you need a plan! Join author, speaker, mother of seven, mother-in-law of four, and grandma of five, as she shares wisdom and encouragement about the six areas of an intentional mom's life. You'll learn from her years of experience, successes, mistakes and redemption. Val and her husband Rich have been married 32 years and she's been homeschooling for 25 years. This podcast covers all stages of parenting, from babies to toddlers to teens and beyond. Val wants to encourage you to not become weary in your work as an intentional mom, "Even with all its unique personalities, imperfections and scars; your family is God's masterpiece. Your efforts matter in this worthy journey of motherhood." Galatians 6:9 says, "Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time you'll reap a harvest if you do not give up." Let's walk this marathon journey of motherhood TOGETHER, right here, on the Practically Speaking MOM podcast, the place for an intentional mom to build a strong family.

162. Uniquely United: Foundation First
Today in episode 162 we lay the foundation for the Uniquely United series in the Practically Speaking MOM: Intentional Mom, Strong Family Podcast.
Note from Val Harrison, The Practically Speaking MOM, about episode 162.
If you have listened to this podcast for a while, you know that I pray about every topic and every episode and really seek to listen to God's leading of what we air and when we air it. Well, God has given me some direction for how to proceed with our occasional series Uniquely United. We began this series a few months ago with part 1. My husband Rich joined me on the podcast for us to talk about Fast-Paced and Slow-Paced people and how to navigate having both types in your home. We have also recorded the next stepsin the series that is about People-Focused vs Task-Focused family members. When that episode airs you will learn how to handle parenting a child that is opposite of you. Maybe you are task-focused, and they are people-focused. Or perhaps you are a free spirit who likes to enjoy whimsy and spontaneity, but your child likes to be regimented and scheduled. How do we handle these differences within the family unit in a way that helps us all to flourish? As we prepared to air that episode for all of you, in my prayer time for the podcast, I felt God was telling me that we need to BACK UP. Let's do this more solidly, from the foundation first.
That's what today is. Today in episode 162 we lay the foundation for the Uniquely United series. You may have actually already heard this conversation, way back in episode 8. One of the things we did in that episode was to discuss what ONENESS in marriage means to us. While we were talking about ONENESS we also talked about the concept of UNIQUELY UNITED. We are going to back up and listen to that conversation now for two reasons: First, because this conversation is a great description of uniquely united, we want you to hear it again. and secondly, a family can be so much more uniquely united if the marriage is committed to that paradigm as well. So, if you are married, begin there first, in helping your family to be uniquely united. IF YOU ARE NOT MARRIED, your child may be some
