This site is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Jacque Bridges. She was a preacher’s wife, had three children, five grandchildren and was an amazing human being. Most everything she did or said was influenced by her profound love for her Saviour and her awareness of His grace in her life.

As you and I travel here together, it's important that you realize that my mother was human. I don't eulogize her or make her a saint. She had feet of clay. She was a sinner saved by grace. She was not perfect and she never claimed to be. She had her faults and we had difficulties in our own relationship. 

As I've continued to work through some of those problems, I've learned that in addition to some issues and frustrations, she left me many valuable life lessons and multiple blessings. Along the way, I've also discovered some useful tools to help all of us on this particular journey. I'm not going to try to make my mother perfect in retrospect. She could really be a "stinker" but she was mine and I love her just the way she was.

As most of us do, I found myself quoting my mother over the years, especially as I raised my children. When I became a counselor, I saw so many children actually damaged and wounded by their parents, I began to realize what great parents I really had and how much I had learned from them.

Recently, I became even more aware of what I had learned from my mother and have felt led to share this with others. Her lessons are tested by time and fire and I share them with you because my heart goes out to every woman with unresolved mother-daughter issues, and because that’s what my mother would have done. After all, life is too short to do anything less.

With all my heart, 
Lillian
