Lord, Why Did You Give Me These Children?! The Book Is Here!

Hey Mama,This is a special episode. My first book is out on Amazon now!!!Lord, Why Did You Give Me These Children?! A faith-based approach to overcoming mom anger.This one is for the mama who’s ever whispered—or shouted—“Lord, why did You give me these children if I can’t take care of them the way I’m supposed to?”That was my cry after a night I still remember: screaming at my four-year-old through a closed door while nursing my second daughter. I took her to a therapist sure she was the problem. The therapist said the child was normal for her age. I was the one who needed help.That sentence wrecked me. And it saved me.This book is not a five-step chart and it is not “just take a breath.” It is the journey the Lord walked me through when willpower failed—shame, triggers, repentance without self-hatred, and how God restores what anger has damaged.Heart change comes from the Holy Spirit, not a better morning routine.“For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” — Philippians 2:13Get the book Search Lord, Why Did You Give Me These Children by Natalie Hixson on Amazon, or use this link!Would you do two things?If this named something you’ve never said out loud, get the book and read it with a pen. Don’t rush it.If the Lord has already begun restoring you, leave an honest Amazon review—not a fluffy one. Other mamas need to know they are not crazy and they are not alone.Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers. Enjoy the book!Questions, thoughts, feedback?

Are you a mama who has walked through challenging seasons of personal brokenness, marriage struggle, or family pain… and wondered if restoration was even possible?In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my husband to look back on the road of restoration that led to our oldest daughter’s wedding. We talk about the healing God did in our own hearts and in our marriage long before we ever watched her walk down the aisle. We reflect on the years of praying for God’s will, the quiet work of surrender, and the unexpected blessing of standing together as healed parents on her wedding day.We share honestly about what it was like to walk through our own healing journeys, how that transformation shaped the way we parented and loved each other, and the deep gratitude we feel watching God’s faithfulness unfold in our daughter’s story. This is a conversation about hope, about the long road of restoration, and about trusting that God is always working even when we can’t yet see the wedding at the end of the path.If you’re in a season of waiting, healing, or simply needing to be reminded that God restores what feels broken, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away encouraged that the road of restoration is real, and that God is faithful to finish what He starts.Grab your coffee and press play.
