Episode 71: A changed heart; from never wanting children to the blessing of being a mother with Tammy Baker
We hope that you had a wonderful 4th of July! Today's episode is one that we're really excited to share with you. It was a privilege to have Tammy Baker in the studio with us! She has a story that is unlike any other that we've heard and we're so thankful for her openness in sharing how God worked an incredible change in her heart. Tammy grew up in California and Alaska with a single mom and had one sister. Life was tough and because of the hardship her family experienced Tammy began to view having children as a burden and vowed that she would never get married. She was feeling these things even as a child herself. She was very driven in academics and ended up pursuing aerospace engineering at Embry-Riddle while being involved with Air Force ROTC. In her time in college, she met a young man named Glenn and even though she had vowed to never be married her love for him eventually changed that idea and they married. Both Tammy and Glenn were on the same page about never having children and everything seemed to be falling into place. They both had great careers and were moving across the U.S. for various job opportunities and were truly enjoying life together. There would be people along the way who would ask if they were planning to have children and Tammy was adamant that children would never be a part of their plan. She had compiled a whole list of reasons to not have children. But as we know with God saying "never" can be a funny thing. This is an amazing story about how the Lord slowly but surely began to work in and soften Tammy's heart to the idea of becoming a mother. Her list was eventually surrendered. Tammy shares how she was able to fall in love with the idea of being a mother all while still pursuing her career. A major theme in her story is the concept of letting go and what that looks like when you're following God and become truly open to His plans. We encourage you to open your heart and mind as you listen to this story!
