Who am I now? Resilient Identity with Christy Crocker

Who Am I Now? Resilient Identity with Christy Crocker In this heartfelt episode of The Resilient Mother Podcast, we delve into the journey of Christy Crocker, a resilient and faith-filled adoptive mother of a special needs child. Christy opens up about her life experiences, including the profound loss of her husband and the challenges of showing up for her children amid grief. Through her story, Christy emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's plan and identifying oneself as a child of God. She believes that everything we go through is for our good and that we already have everything we need inside of us to get through anything. She shares her faith that there is a world of possibility waiting for us and that breaking our hearts open allows space for more things. Christy also discusses her adoption relationship and how God can make beautiful things out of hard situations. She encourages listeners to give more from the lessons they learn and to trust that God knows them better than they know themselves. Citing Romans 8:28, she reminds us that all things work for our good and that God trusts us with hard things because He knows we can handle them. Throughout the episode, Christy explores themes of agency, boundaries, and living intentionally. She acknowledges that we will make mistakes, but it is through these mistakes that we learn. Christ paid the price, and at some point, we must choose God for ourselves. When we fully rely on God as His children, we develop a belief that transforms into knowledge, making faith a part of our identity. As a mother, Christy strives to nurture who her child is and be an example of who they can become. She highlights the importance of developing a personal relationship with God and teaching children to make mistakes and learn in the safety of a home environment. She trusts that God knows her children better than she does and that He is the constant source of truth she can turn to. Christy reflects on the role of Jesus's adoptive parent and the idea that even imperfect parents can do their best. She believes in trusting children to know themselves and allowing them to be little, recognizing that kids are sponges who absorb what we do as part of their identity. Despite the miracles that didn't come this time, Christy finds purpose in her pain and is dedicated to building hope. She believes that God is always in our story and has a plan for us, even when processing grief. As a spiritual being having a human experience, she trusts that hindsight will make everything clear one day and that resilience is a form of hope. Finally, Christy encourages listeners to ask for help, seek support from those who have been through similar experiences, and ask for prayers on their behalf. She emphasizes the importance of parenting each unique child's needs and creating the support they need, reminding us that we are all after the same things.
