words of encouragement for the day to day journey of motherhood…

Our schools are a reflection of our homes and our schools are strongest when our homes are strong first.
As I’m sitting and looking at the summer list one of my girls made only 5 short months ago, it’s a small reminder for me to keep asking, keep connecting, keeping having conversations, and keep making the most time for the most precious blessings we have, our girls.
Tomorrow is technically the first day of Fall…
Tomorrow is technically the beginning of a new season…
Tomorrow technically marks the start of something different, something new…
And today is the day the Lord has made...
I’m reminded that it’s not just about the book or the lessons in the book, it’s the time spent together. It’s the conversations. It’s dreaming big and hearing how God moves in big ways and small ways, and it’s being reminded that we, no matter how big or small, have a part of His plan, too. It’s putting stories of hope and encouragement in our pockets for tough days when we need to pull from His promises and remind ourselves that we have a miracle working God.
…there’s something beautiful about being disciplined to preserve these beautiful moments. And as I’ve wasted time getting lost in my list of to-do’s, contemplating wasting time on social media, and then rewinding back to my work responsibilities within the first few minutes of waking up, I’m reminded that it’s easy to slip out of the rhythms of my beautiful quiet mornings with the Lord, when I don’t choose to make it a priority. It’s easy for me to think I can do this on my own without the Holy Spirit’s help. It’s easy to slip out of these rhythms when I somehow forget the precious, holiness of these mornings…somehow…
Have you ever prayed over having Godly women in your life to grow you, love you, challenge you, and encourage you?
The enemy will lie to you and tell you that you can do it all on your own. Then he will lie to you and try to make you believe you aren’t equipped. Having Godly women in your life will be important to help surround you with Truth.
Pray to have this kind of relationship for yourself. It will transform your heart and the entire temperature of your home.
When we don’t fill up on Him each day, it’s inevitable we will get stuck or lost. Make sure you’re filling up your cup (and gas tank), momma!
Walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit doesn’t happen by accident and when we walk with Him, it changes lives, families, households and generations to come. This isn’t a call for perfect momma’s, daughters and households. Who would want that anyway? This read is a reminder of what this is all about.
I hear from moms that they just don’t know where to begin when it comes to their own faith and especially the faith of their children. Sometimes, you can start to learn more about who He is through someone else’s testimony.
So, when I’m asked what prayer is for me and what my experience with prayer is, I’ve asked the Lord to block out everyone else’s experience with prayer and try to own my personal experience and journey with Christ and provide my own answer.
