Trusting God as We and Our Kids Step Into What’s Next (with Judy Fulmer)

Listen to this podcast episode here:

There’s something bittersweet about watching our children grow up.

One moment, we’re cheering them on as they take their very first steps. Then we’re sitting with them at the kitchen table helping them learn how to read—and the next thing we know, we’re walking beside them on a college campus tour, realizing just how quickly time has passed.

Michael and I experienced this recently when we visited Newberry College with our son, Luke.

You realize—God’s been faithful through every season, and He’s still leading us.

This week on the podcast, I sat down with Judy Fulmer, an educational consultant who helps parents and students prepare for life after high school. She’s walked this road with many families—helping them find the right college, discover scholarships, and make sense of next steps—but what struck me most was her heart for encouraging moms to trust God through the transition.

She reminded me that just as God opens doors for our children, He also opens new doors for us.

Maybe you’ve been pouring yourself into homeschooling or raising kids for years, and you’re wondering what comes next. Maybe your nest is slowly emptying, and you feel both excited and unsure. Friend, God’s grace meets us there too.

We often think of this transition as a loss, but it’s also an opportunity to see God’s faithfulness in a new way.

The same God Who has guided us all along the way will guide our sons and daughters into their futures.

And while He’s leading them, He’s also leading us.

We don’t have to figure out every detail. We can trust that God has a plan for each season. He has never failed us yet.

Let’s trust Him together.
