41: Cathie Miller

from Words of the Wise Hosted by Lexie Manor

Childhood lessons from growing up in a family with seven kids and learning to embrace her differences. The advice her mother gave her: “Catie, there is nothing wrong with what you are, you’re the best.” Meeting her late husband, Steve, and their 50-year marriage. Raising four boys. Wisdom for younger generations: “Work hard, talk less.” Her faith-driven outlook on life: “God will be there every time… and that door that shut, that window will open every time.” Stories of biking hundreds of miles cross-country—her “recovery plan” being a nice meal, a cozy hotel, and two beers. Why her life philosophy is to always “walk in a room and smile and be open to everybody, and they’ll come to you.” Soli Deo Gloria.

Cathie Miller, Lexie’s beloved godmother, has lived a life full of adventure, love, and unwavering faith. In this conversation, she shares stories from her childhood in a big family, lessons from 50 years of marriage, raising four sons, and her legendary cross-country cycling trips. Her wisdom is as refreshing as it is timeless: “Work hard, talk less,” “Walk in a room and smile,” and “You never ever should despair somebody because they’re different.” Cathie’s faith anchors every season of her life. She’s quick to remind us, “God… if you just ask, He will be there every time. And that door that shut, that window will open every time.” From learning self-worth through her mother’s words—“Catie, there is nothing wrong with what you are, you’re the best”—to cherishing simple joys like a good meal and two beers after a long ride, Cathie’s perspective is as honest as it is inspiring.
