The Holy Suffering of Motherhood
Much is said about the tender beauty of motherhood. It is one of the sweetest gifts one can experience. It is full of silly jokes, sweet hugs, and so many beautiful moments. I consider being a mother to my 8 children one of the best gifts I’ve ever been given. But it is not without its share of pain.
Motherhood, Margin, and Time With God
What we value is revealed by how we spend our time. If I value my relationship with God, then I will make time for him. And at the same time, it is often difficult to make time to really study the Bible, have devotions, and pray when you are a mom. Our days are so packed with truly necessary things that must be done.
Facing the fear of joy and rest
The more I talk to people the more I realize that many of us have a difficult time with rest and joy.
We have trouble feeling joy fully. Have you ever found yourself experiencing something good in your life, only to find yourself waiting for that inevitable bad thing to happen next?
