Blog
Every woman has a story. Every story reveals God's faithfulness.
The In My Shoes blog shares real stories from inside our home: moments of hope, heartbreak, and healing. These are the voices of moms, staff, volunteers, and supporters walking together through crisis toward the life God intended.
Whether you're looking to serve, give, or pray, this is the place to witness what happens when love shows up in the middle of someone's hardest season.

Halloween at In My Shoes

One Yes at a Time
If you would’ve told me I was going to be the House Manager during a pandemic while we were simultaneously trying to become fully staffed and hit our max resident number while also being in grad school… I don’t know what I would’ve said in reply. We often believe the perfect plan for our lives…

What the staff said next brought tears to the desperate mother’s eyes: “I’m sorry, we cannot take pregnant mothers… it’s a liability risk.” It was back…
Reflections of a Mission Staff Member: Relationships, Challenges, and Adventures
