Kathy Mapp
For Sixteen years I was married to my job. That’s what The Lord said to me when He called me away from the commercial design industry and sent me on my way to full time ministry, marriage and a family. I could hear God laugh with delight when our first child was born when I was 40 years old and our second at 42. An Elizabeth or Sarah of the twenty first century. It was from this time forward our children became ‘THIS ONE THING I DO’ in my life. Feeling totally incapable of having the first idea about raising children I began to read everything I could find.
