Visit Hearts at Home for more information and to register. \nSara’s workshops: \n113 – The Proverbs 31 Guide for Stressed Out\, Far-From-Perfect Moms \nDo you picture the Proverbs 31 wife as Martha Stewart in robe and veil? Do you wish you could do half of what this superwoman does? Have you given up trying? In this workshop\, Sara offers a different perspective based on her year-long experiment studying this biblical woman so many say is our ideal but so many of us feel incapable of becoming. What DOES it look like to follow God in our day-to-day mom and wife life? And is perfection really required? Let Sara help you: \n\nUnderstand the most important lesson we miss when we talk about Proverbs 31 (and it has nothing to do with housework!)\nRealize the influence God’s placed within you for your family\, for better or worse\, and learn three ways you can quickly become an influence for good.\nKnow the five warning signs you’re becoming more concerned with Pinterest-Perfect than People-Passionate.\nThink about God’s call for your life as a wife and mom and develop your own set of Proverbs 31 traits.\n\nIf you’re stressed out\, worn out or just giving out\, come and get your encouragement bucket refilled! God doesn’t ask for our perfection\, just our availability. \n114 – How Can I Possibly Forgive? \nEveryone experiences conflict and disappointment in life. But some hurts are harder to get over than others. Forgiveness isn’t always easy\, even when it’s asked for. But refusing to forgive can impact you in ways you might not realize until years of bitterness have developed. In this workshop\, Sara will walk you through seven habits of highly resentful people\, as well as seven habits of highly forgiving people\, and how you can begin a healing conversation with yourself and God to forgive what’s kept you from moving forward once and for all. Let Sara help you: \n\nIdentify any bad habits you’ve adopted when it comes to forgiving others\, and learn the good habits you can apply today.\nLearn three steps you can use to move past hurt even when the person who caused it is unable or refuses to apologize or admit responsibility.\nRealize the importance of forgiveness\, and what it means in your relationship with God.\nDevelop a deeper understanding of grace and how you can apply it in your day to day relationships\, including your family members.\n\nSara is the founder of Wives of Faith\, a ministry for military wives. Her books include My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife\, My So-Called Life as a Submissive Wife\, How Can I Possibly Forgive? and Stories Around the Table. She lives with her husband Cliff\, and their son Caleb near Baton Rouge\, LA. Connect with Sara: www.SaraHorn.com

He wrote “Rules of the Road Less Traveled” in Stories Around the Table. He is a leading advocate for both military and nonmilitary families regarding special education\, medical care\, and long term care issues. A highly-regarded speaker on issues involving military families with special needs\, he has briefed the Congressional Military Family Caucus\, numerous Congressional delegations and staffers in the Armed Services Committee\, HELP Committee\, in the Judiciary Committee and in the White House. \nHolly is an international speaker and military life consultant. Her journey to becoming a military spouse who sees the possibilities in military life is captured in her essay “The ‘Ain’t It Awful?’ Club” in Stories Around the Table. Her work with military spouses earned her the distinguished recognition as the first-ever designated “Who’s Who in Military Spouses” by Military Spouse magazine. She has received numerous awards\, including Volunteer of the Year\, the Essayons Award\, Department of Defense Outstanding Civilian Service Award\, and the V Corps Soaring Eagle Award for her contributions and volunteer service to military families around the world. She is also coauthor of Military Spouse Journey: Discover the Possibilities & Live Your Dreams. \nSarah is the wife a Navy pilot and the daughter of a retired Navy admiral.

The wide menu of topics ranges from friendship and romance\, to careers and finances\, deployment\, reunion\, changing schools\, and coping with combat injury\, PTSD\, grief\, and much more. The collection first and foremost supports military families by offering a friend at the table who’s been through similar circumstances\, offering perspective\, ideas\, and hope. \nBut these stories appeal to everyone\, military and nonmilitary alike.
