When we each use and strengthen our talents, we are creating space for other women to do the same.

What propels a woman to leave the safety and familiarity of America and move to a country with staggering poverty and a soaring HIV rate? How do women who cannot read or write pray Scripture over their children, homes and community? And why should you be concerned with the plight of mothers incarcerated in countries around the globe? Today, Lee sits down with Arizona State Team Member, International Leadership Developer, and Moms in Prayer’s Global Prison Ministry Liason, Kay West, to discuss all these things and the big God we serve. About our Guest: Kay West is a grateful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ because of His grace and mercy. In addition to her roles with MIPI as International Leadership Developer for Southern Africa, Global Prison Ministry Liaison, and AZ State Team International Liaison, Kay also serves as president of Swaziserve, Inc., a ministry she and her husband, John, founded in 2009 before selling or giving away almost everything they owned to serve as missionaries in eSwatini and South Africa.

The world could use a little more kindness, and kindness begins with each one of us. But how do we teach our kids to be kind when unkindness is so abundant? I have been wanting to publish a podcast about this topic for quite some time, and I knew that Kay West needed to be the one to teach us. She is one of the kindest, most encouraging people I know. Not only that, but Kay's daughter, Eden, has multiple physical and mental special needs and has been severely bullied and treated unkindly by many people. I am not a super emotional person, but both Kay and I shed a few tears during this interview. Her perspective on teaching kindness is one that every parent needs to hear.

When she was a tiny little girl Kay had dreams of growing up to become a mother. She found an amazing man to marry, but her dreams of becoming a mother were delayed by infertility. In this very touching episode Kay West shares her story of finding light and hope in adoption. She shares how much heavenly father loves his daughters and how much he loves you.
“It is just so beautiful to be in a place of such brokenness and witness how near God is to the brokenhearted. To be in that place every week feels holy.” Today Lee is joined by Kate Rietema, a Moms in Prayer mom with a captivating story of how God called her and three friends into a Moms in Prayer jail ministry. About our Guest: Kate Rietema grew up with a Moms in Prayer mom and made the choice early in her parenting journey to continue the tradition.

Episode 29 of the podcast is my first time having a guest back for a second interview. In episode 7 of the podcast I interviewed Kay West and shared her faith-filled motherhood story of infertility, adoption, and miscarriage. Today, I have Kay back as a guest to discuss both the triumphs and struggles she has faced with her daughter, Eden, who is a special needs child. Show Recap Triumphs Eden was adopted at birth and due to choices made by her birth mother has brain damage, asthma, autism and will someday need a cornea transplant. Kay shares how God revealed to her early in Eden's life that although her body is damaged, her spirit is perfect. Kay also discusses how Eden's condition has affected her other child, Isaac. Struggles When Eden entered middle school, Kay and her husband started to notice negative changes in Eden. As she started to regress, Kay discovered Eden was being bullied at school. She shares how their family handled this heartbreaking situation and what they did to help Eden. Kay gives a message of hope to mothers who discover their child is being bullied. She says to help your child feel validated and to know home is a safe place to come for support. Kay also recommends to other mothers to pray and listen to that intuition to know how best to help a child. She shares the process she and her husband go through to know how to help both Eden and Isaac in difficult situations. Sharing Kindness One of the good things that has come from Eden's experiences being bullied is Kay and her husband have helped their children start an online shop called Quietly Being Kind. The shop features postcards with Eden's artwork and kindness quote that can be purchased and sent to others as a reminder to be kind. Kay's children share a portion of the proceeds of the shop with an organization that helps children. They also hope to feature other children like Eden to help raise awareness of the importance of showing kindness. Kay's journey of raising a special needs child has not been easy. Although she doesn't always see it in the moment, Kay can look back and see God's hand guiding her in motherhood. She knows He didn't send any of us here to fail. As long as we keep trusting Him, he will open the path.

"When I turned to Him, I found that I am a daughter of God and that is worth so much. Nothing about me is broken. He sent me to this earth at this time with the body that I have for a reason. He put me on my path in life for a reason and whatever that reason is, it's perfect because He wanted me to do something that only I could do." - Kay West Show Recap I haven't met many mothers who have been through as much as Kay West has on the journey of motherhood. Her story has a happy ending with the adoption of two long-awaited and beautiful children. However, Kay also knows the heartache of infertility, miscarriage and the grief of a third adoption that did not happen. Her story is so heavy and full of trials that I was completely caught off guard by how happy I felt during this interview. Even as she shares the most painful moments of her life, her hope and joy shine through and I walked away feeling so uplifted by her words. We talk about her expectations of motherhood and the fun way she deals with strangers who ask why her children don't resemble her Asian background. Kay also emotionally shares her anger toward God and her ups and downs in her relationship with Him. During infertility, her husband told her one thing that changed her perspective. He said, "You can either turn away from Heavenly Father or you can turn toward Him." Kay knew she had a choice. It wasn't easy but she chose to turn toward God. Though her daughter has special needs that are easy to see, Kay has learned we all have something that makes us not whole. She knows her trials of motherhood are not a punishment and that she isn't broken. Kay shares a beautiful message of hope for any mother who feels she is less than another mother in the eyes of God.
