Being a mom is an amazing gift. But the responsibility of shepherding your child’s heart through the confusion of this world can be hard.
In today’s cultural environment, it’s easy for motherhood to be reduced to a label, or a natural lifestyle. But if you asked five moms to tell you one attribute about motherhood, at least three of them would say, “motherhood is hard.” For most moms, motherhood is a (daily) look at love through exhausted eyes.
On this episode, my friend Keli Reese and I are discussing the importance of connecting with the Word of God, and staying the course through the hard seasons of motherhood.
Highlights from Today’s Episode:
- Parenting is God’s unfinished work
- How to forgive yourself and your children.
- The difference between Godly sorrow and guilt.
- Creating time and space to commune with the Word of God in parenting, and the importance of a good support system on your journey of motherhood.
