Thank you for sharing your background in so much detail.
I just read this Amy Carmichael quote this morning and perhaps your Mamaw knew this truth: "Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace." I love this. I believe my DH knows this single-heartedness, which causes me a bit of frustration from time to time.
In a fun turn of Providence, I have been reading your series about your Mamaw concurrently with Hillbilly Elegy, and it’s been an interesting compare and contrast 😊 I am really enjoying these reflections you’re sharing!
What a beautiful poignant account of part of your growing up! In what state did you grow up? Somewhere in the south?? Looking forward to Part 2
