Welcome to Anchors of Encouragement. I’m Tim Maudlin: Husband, Adoptive Parent, Disciple of Christ, and Ambassador of Encouragement. I too felt the joy of having a family of my own and I wished we could be like other families.

    172 – From Anxious to Intentional: 4 Strategies for Adoptive Parents
    Jan 26 2025

    “Therefore, don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” ~Matthew 6:34 CSB

    Hi Neighbor,

    Welcome to another unplugged episode of Anchors of Encouragement.

    In our previous episodes, I began laying the foundation for my words this year, giving you breadcrumbs to a word jumble.

    Here’s a hint: I’m going to reveal these words slowly. We’ll dive deep into their meanings by breaking them into acronyms, like a little puzzle – a tribute to my Mom who loved word jumbles.

    Each episode will bring new insights and tools to help you navigate the year with faith and confidence. Don’t miss out on the journey!

    Today’s word begins with the letter, “I.”

    The adoption journey is filled with challenges, distractions, and anxiety. How do we stay focused? By being intentional every day.

    I’ll share 4 ways that help me to be intentional. And one my son Jonny shared in Episode 14.

    Hope and Healing are on the way.

    Your Neighbor,⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tim

    “Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body..” ~Proverbs 16:24 NLT

    Today’s word begins with the letter, “C.”

    The words we choose to share can be comforting and uplifting. A small compliment or kind word can make a significant difference in someone's day.

    I’ll share two stories to illustrate this concept.

    Hope and Healing are on the way.
