Episode Synopsis

Send us a textHeidi Simpson readily admits that she did not grow up dreaming of being a mother.  She didn't dream of days when she would have a house full of rambunctious children running around  creating a bunch of "happy" chaos. However, that's exactly what she got.  The Lord had different plans for her.  As most mothers do, she has sacrificed some temporal pursuits of her own to be the rock of her family.  A rock that is needed when raising 4 children, 2 of which are on the autism spectrum.  With her hard working husband, Thomas, gone much of the time during the day providing for the family, she provides the direction and care at home their children need.  Heidi shares some experiences of discovering and raising autistic children, She shares an experience of when the spirit really shook her to help her know that their second child was being sent to them at time when they needed her.Heidi also talks about her evolution of fitness and what she has been able to allow herself to become rather than following the pressures of the world.  Heidi's family has lived in several areas of the country experiencing gospel living in many places.  She had a strong family foundation that raised her strong in the church but also admits that she is a little jealous of her husband who was not raised in the church.  She does not mean that in a negative way, but in a personal growth way.  Heidi speaks to how she and Thomas have been able to travel this road together while figuring things out along the way, especially when it came to raising their family with all of the dynamics involved.  She offers some tips on what not say and how not to interact with a family that has autistic children.  Finally, she talks about how they find joy in living the gospel of Jesus Christ.One's thing is for sure, Heidi is proud of her family and the legacy they are leaving as they blaze their trail in this world!!Support the showThanks for listening!
