My guest today is author Christina Berry who is going to tell us about her Super Mom.Christina is going to give away two copies of her newest book. Here’s Christina:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Unexpected–Africa<\/h2>\n

“Sherrie Ashcraft, my mother married an engineer. That meant marrying into a stable career with lots of financial security. Little did she know he would soon be called by God to enter the ministry.\u00a0 That meant lots of change and being supported on tithes.\u00a0 She followed him gracefully\u2014at least that\u2019s what I like to think, as I wasn\u2019t around yet!\u2014because she loved him and wanted to serve the Lord at his side. They had two kids and then Dad heard a new calling\u2014the drum beat of Africa. Off our family went to Nigeria for 3.5 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not until I had children of my own did I comprehend how strong my mother had to be, taking her young kiddos into a dangerous land, learning to make her way among the beggars and flies to buy strange foods, cooking everything from scratch and washing dishes by hand, leaving her own parents to follow her husband when letters took months to make it across the ocean \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The After Effect-Depression<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve seen her strength throughout my life, from faithfully submitting herself to my father (revealing that true submission shows strength, not weakness) to nursing her mother-in-law through Alzheimer\u2019s into a peaceful death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mother struggled greatly with depression after our return from Africa. Instead of letting that experience defeat her, she let it define her for the better. These days, she is the women\u2019s ministry director at her church. Her compassion and encouragement for the women is so deep precisely because of what experienced. She\u2019s lived transparently as my marriage fell apart, my brother was falsely convicted and imprisoned, and her dreams of writing sat on the shelf.<\/strong><\/p>\n
