Adoption and foster care experiences fall under the category of traumatic experiences. Research tells us that there are signs, side effects, and symptoms that impact a child’s education, their adult and childhood relationships, their sense of self worth, identity, and all things in life and it does not matter the age of the child when adopted.
It is her hope to normalize the conversation about adoption. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Did you know that entire race of people's are being destroyed right now? Over 2 million Uighurs and counting are being systematically destroyed by the Chinese government. Here is just a 15 minute episode to, at the very least, make you aware of what atrocities are still happening in our present day.
We thought that this sort of thing would never happen again after the reign of Adolf Hitler, but it IS! I was worried about posting this in a bit of fear of retaliation against the Chinese Government - but honestly - this is extremely important information that we need to know - in order so we can pray for, speak for, and search for these Uighur peoples.

Friends,
I hope that this depression podcast series has helped to either open your eyes or remind yourself of the danger and difficulties of depression.
It can wreak havoc on whole families and destroy a person's self-hood.
To my family member and all others that may be struggling,
You are important. You matter. Your life is precious. You were made in the image of God.
And God totally loves you, all the time.

My mother suffered a MASSIVE stroke the day before Thanksgiving, and has been in the hospital since then! I had made many facebook live video updates, which has taken so much time away from actual podcasting! SO I thought - I'm just going to record what I say on Facebook haha.

Everyone - I can't warmly express ENOUGH how fond I am of this husband and wife duo.
I first found Chelsea through Google's suggested stories that the A.I. thought I'd be interested in - and apparently Google was right - because I then read a gut-wrenching yet hopeful story of foster-parenting and love, written by Chelsea herself! You can actually find that article right here!
She was so gracious and kind and brave to meet me for a phone call from across the entire USA - literally East meets West in this situation - and my mind was blown even further when I saw a picture of her and her husband online, and get this - we both had pink hair and a nose ring in the photo, and our husbands had beards, glasses and a sweet face!?! What in the world?!
I am so happy to introduce you to Chelsea, and to share just a part of her story with you all - she has been one of my favorite guests, and I can't wait for you to hear what she has to say!
Thanks for coming back, friends!

So - I've been convicted lately. Well, not lately, but over years and years of prodding and poking from people that love me.
I've got. To watch. My tongue. My mouth can be offensive - but I loved it. It goes with rock n' roll, metal, hard life and crazy backstory. But, like so many of our sins, it's time to give it up.
Cheers, guys! And good luck on your journeys too!

Y'all - this election has got me feeling some feelings. And the craziest part is that with America split 50/50 - you won't even know which side I'm feelin' for ;-) BUT LISTEN! On the reals....it makes me sad that so many of my fellow Americans (and even people all over the world) are so divided over this presidential election - and I wanted to share some love and encouragement for all of you out there- a reminder that this is not our final and ultimate king. Our president is not the creator of the universe or the ruler of all men - the president is a short-termed sinful-human that will make decisions that will anger many and help few. It's just kinda the way it always works.
And guess what else? This is nothing new to God - He tells us that there is nothing new under the son.
The best part of this episode is that my husband, naked 2 year old, and black cat, Persephone allllll make an appearance at some point or another.
In the Kingdom of Heaven - we are all brothers and sisters - love you guys for coming back and listening!

Hello! Welcome to episode 17!
Firstly - I am so thankful that Jessica let me interview her while trying to have a relaxing night for herself! As a homeschooling mom of many little babes, having alone time to yourself, let alone pampering time, is almost impossible - and she was kind enough to work on this episode with me!
Secondly - I apologize 3000 percent for the audio quality in this ep. There was basically a perfect storm of pooping on this session, not to mention that most of the files were corrupted by my father-in-law's hand-me-down external storage device......oohhhhhh dads.
So! There was so much to talk about with Jessica and I am thankful that I was able to salvage at least one piece! I think we are in need of some more "me" time.....but together haha.
And one piece that I would like to encourage you all with - remember, you never know what baggage that someone else is carrying with them! Love your neighbor, ladies!
You can learn more about Jessica and all of her beautifulness on Instagram

Remember! 15% off your purchase is NOT TOO SHABBY, BABES!

Guys - I've never in my life been a fan of 80's style - that is until I needed to dress as a glamorous 1980's woman for a murder mystery party.
It was SO FUN! Enjoy hearing about my goofy escapades as an 80's Southern Belle, and how my hair now crackles when I move because of the amount of hairspray that is still tucked away inside of it.

Hello! Welcome to episode 12! I had the BEST time speaking with Emily Petersen, a local mom of 3 that has traveled the globe with her husband while homeschooling her babies. She's been to Kansas, Singapore and Japan just to give you an idea of the different places she's seen - and Emily's family now looks at homeschooling as their goal - the thing that they work towards together.
Though Emily was first thrust into homeschooling through necessity, like so many moms and dads out there, her and her husband soon realized that it was God calling them to a life of pajama breakfasts and homeschool hangouts. Please enjoy part 1 of Emily's story!
I'd love your feeback! Please send me an email at nestingwiththeearleybirds@gmail.com or find our public page on Facebook! Is there anything I can do better? What would you like to hear more of? I'm all ears ;-)

Hey friends! Did I tell you guys yet that I have a chronic illness? And that there are a million different doctors doing a million different things to figure it out - but I was reminded during a recent bout of family illness of a story from the Bible - about a lady that bled for TWELVE YEARS without a cure! 12 years!
It reminded me that I'm not alone while going through this, and that others have already gone before me - and that Jesus spoke DIRECTLY to them.
And listener friends - whichever faith you may have, I hope you are able to at least understand or enjoy my comparison! Thanks for coming back!
Luke 8:43-48English Standard Version43 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians,[a] she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter[b] said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

I hope that you enjoy hearing us (Evan and Shannon Earley) take Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages Quiz for Couples.This is actually our second time taking this quiz - the first being several years ago when suggested by my MOPS group. It's interesting that the results have changed over the years, but I think that life circumstances change things in your marriage regardless! We used to have the exact, down to the percentage, quiz results. When we received ours today, I was not only surprised, but also interested to hear how I could love my husband, Evan, better!
The neat thing is that this quiz is not only for couples. You can figure out the love language for your kiddos, yourself, or even as a single person. We all need and give love in different ways, so it's nice to hear how we tick - just a little bit of insight into our hearts.
You can find the quiz online here.
Or - a link to the book, The Five Love Languages , is here.
The music that you heard today is Happy Ukuleleby Scott Holmes
And remember! If you have any questions, please let me know! And let me know YOUR results. I want to hear them! Feel free to post them on our podcast community's Facebook page!

So - this was a difficult episode to record ; simply because there are many things that I am sharing that have caused me to feel shame and guilt for a very long time. But - God can heal all things - and He is doing that in me. It's a continual process - but I'm thankful it began so long ago!
Remember to share this with others to help and encourage them; to remind them that they aren't alone ; and to share the message that there is hope after abuse.
