Fostering the Heart
A Safe Place of Hope, Healing, and Encouragement. Where you can overcome challenges and become the best at who you are.

Welcome to Richard and Niki Barlow’s website!
Overcoming obstacles in your life can be challenging. Some things, like a health diagnosis, we must accept then live the best we can. Other times, our circumstances are of our own making and there are positive steps we can take to change our lives. We pray you will find the hope of Christ to inspire you, encourage, and uplift while walking through life. We are firm believers God can give you peace and healing in unexpected ways.
Our life experiences have taken us through a successful marriage, the challenges of foster parenting, dysfunctional relationships, unexpected accidents, and the complications of chronic pain. With God’s love, we are overcomers, and you can be too!

Like many people, Niki did not like giving up control over her life, but having faced several unexpected circumstances, she learned she had no choice. Niki’s blog provides hope, reassurance, and growth in faith through her life experiences. Come on the journey of self-discovery, and see how God plays the leading role in our daily life!
