IRONWOMAN - Thank You, Anna Johnson - Interview with Caryl Wilson
“Cherish this stage, it’ll be gone before you know it.” This sage advice is given to me about every other time I go to the grocery store. It is given to me by beautiful older women, whose faces tell the stories of lives full of joy and pain, laughter and sorrow. I trust their wisdom, but I confess that this is hard advice to accept. It’s hard to cherish the melt downs, the poopy diapers, or the sleepless nights. I long for the day when I can once again take an uninterrupted shower and sleep in past 7. But then, change comes, and I cling to the past. What would it be like to embrace both the sameness and the change that each day brings, and be fully satisfied with this present moment that God has given me? In this issue of IRONwoman, we are excited to share with you some snapshots of women of God who are doing just that! The Kirk is blessed with wisdom of women from all different stages of life: students, single women, young moms, moms of teens, working women, retired women, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and so much more. This kaleidoscope of experience is part of what makes the Kirk such a beautiful place. Thank you to every one who contributed to this edition of IRONwoman and to you, our readers! BY: CHRISTINA HANNAH
