Wow! 29 days and only 2 more to go. I have loved discussing what it means to become an excellent mom with you! I feel so challenged myself and thankful that you have joined in with me.
Can I just encourage you for a moment today?
For all the times that you fold the same shirt, clean up potty training accidents and wipe up spilled milk and talk through heart issues you are pouring yourself out in the most beautiful of ways. God created you and said “She will be a mother, I’m putting in her the ability to be excellent when she mothers in my strength.” He stood back looked at you in all of your amazing womanly beauty and said it was good.
You are sowing seeds. They may be hidden now under the soil of your child’s life but they are there. You water them, expose them to sun and gently prune them as they begin to grow. One day the evidence of your effort, partnered with God’s hand, will be evident. It won’t be a perfect work but an excellent one.
Be patient with yourself and patient with your children. You are both a work in progress and that process is beautiful to your Heavenly Father who delights in you.
No one else is equipped to mother your child the same way you are. God chose you. When you yield to Him He will equip you and take your offering of yourself and multiply it.
We’re all in this together! We need each other’s support and way more “atta girl” encouragements than judgmental attitudes. I’ve never met a mom who just didn’t care and didn’t want to figure mothering out and do it well. Let’s work together, be each other’s biggest fans and joy in the journey together!
