How do we pray when our amazing littles demand so much of our time and energy? On today's show, Maggie Whitley, mom of four and seminary student, shares about making prayer a practical part of the everyday moments of your life, and what to do with the worries of motherhood. One of my main takeaways is that we can allow what worries us to turn into prayer. All this season, I'm interviewing REAL moms, with REAL challenges, who have overcome to have REAL, vibrant prayer lives. Their stories are, well, real, and I've picked 6 of them to share with you over the next six weeks. If you like them, follow MPM on IG at MPM and listen to them all. The ones I've chosen for this season are intended to give you a diversity of personal story, and my hope is that you'll hear your story reflected in one of theirs. Maybe in all of them. Tune in now to listen for yourself and be encouraged to overcome your own challenges to prayer!

{Real Prayer} How to pray when you have little children, with Maggie Whitley

Maggie Whitley Designs is a tight-knit community of handmade makers, wives, mamas and encouragers. Maggie shares inspiration alongside her story as a handmade business owner going from Gussy Sews to Caroline Made and becoming a mama. Maggie and her husband live in a cozy apartment in Los Angeles with their two young children. They are adventure seekers, dog lovers and color enthusiasts. This week's episode is a bit different in the formatting. We start our chatting with Maggie about how she and her husband went from living in Michigan to moving to Minnesota in 48 hours and then finally how they sold 90% of their belongings after a trip to Tanzania and moved out west to Los Angeles. Maggie shares how she and her husband found themselves unemployed in Detroit, Michigan soon after they were married.  She shares how her love of learning and her new interest in Etsy lead her to learn how to sew. She checked out 30 books from the library, borrowed a family sewing machine and taught herself how to sew! We talk about how Maggie used the time when she unemployed to really cultivate a community around her business, which was then called Gussy Sews. Maggie goes into detail about how their trip to Tanzania, Africa changed their lives.  They went with Compassion International. You can read more about the trip here. After this trip to Africa Maggie's husband, Zach brought up the idea of moving to California. Maggie said of course and soon after they made the decision to do this they found out they were expecting their first baby! Just out of her first trimester Maggie and Zach sold 90% of their belongings, packed up their Jeep and left Michigan for the West Coast! Fast forward to now and they have welcomed a second baby, Maggie's shop has transitioned from Gussy Sews to Caroline Made, Maggie has also taken some time off since their second child arrived and her work has shifted a lot to be a SAHM and a WAHM. Maggie shares with us a great definition of success!"It ultimately boils down to happiness and are you confident in the choices you are making.  Is the lifestyle that you are living something you are proud of?"And she shares this great reminder with us"Everyone's story is different. What I do for a living may or may not be what my neighbor wants to do. It may not be what anyone in our family's ever done but it's not wrong."Maggie also shares how her business shifted a lot after their move to LA, then the birth of their son, and then again with the birth of their daughter.  She needed time and space to figure out her new roles.  This is something we know new moms, or any mom can relate to!
