So tender and moving, Mackenzie. Your words heal us all by cleaning the lenses of our hearts with the holiness of being formed in the imago Dei and for expressing the same love of family that God Himself possesses. People of every tribe, language, and tongue is His family. Such is God's heart for family.

This post was a stunning piece of writing. I've been so encouraged listening to your podcast, reading your words over the last year or so ( and more recently, hearing your beautiful family music!). Thankyou for being willingly vulnerable, faithful to your calling and obedient to Christ. As a mum ( of two) little ones and a writer/ dreamer/ creative/ disciple , what you share resonates with me deeply.

Your words are needed now more than ever for this generation of women who are frightened of becoming mothers at all. Who do not realise the immense beauty and privilege of birthing little humans into this world.

May you experience even more joy as you venture into the journey with no.9!
