As I grow in my understanding of the Gospel, and see my own weakness, this was a declaration/confession for me, recorded (and then forgotten, oops!) a little over 2 years ago. I want to be a mom with a Gospel-shaped posture toward life.
Recorded: March 2017, after baby #8

Oh, thank you, Jess!
That was so sweet and encouraging!! This has been a really trying season of parenting over the last year or so, (with my 8 year old son in particular). Then just within the last month, we found out we’re expecting baby number 4 and I’ve been exhausted and sick alot so far this pregnancy. Last night, I found myself laying in bed worrying over how I will ever have the energy to care for another baby. And I’ve looked around at other women who seem to take motherhood in stride and still have the energy to do their makeup flawlessly, run their own businesses, keep spotless homes, and homeschool. And yet it’s still a *daily* struggle for me 10 years in. I’m sure that more often than not, none of those other moms have it all together either, but it’s easy for the enemy to tell us lies like that and even lead us to despise our sisters in Christ! This was such a helpful reminder to lean into the Lord in my weaknesses and to be open about my need for the beautiful news of the gospel in my daily, hourly, life.
