Being a mom is one of the greatest blessings but some days it’s hard to weather the storms that we’re challenged with in life.
When we try to do life on our own -- when we prioritize our children over our relationship with the Lord, our marriage, or our friends -- we often become misguided in our priorities and focus.
Those hard times we would never have chosen will produce endurance, character, and a hope that we would never trade.
There will be seasons of quiet and space. And there will be seasons of noise, and crying, and laughter, and little feet running the halls. God sees us in all of it.
Worry is a temptation. But we need to choose to stop those roiling thoughts, to hand those worries over to Him, to focus on God’s promises and have peace.
The Spirit of God lives within us! We must never let His light be hidden by routinely stressed-out, serious, bored, or annoyed expressions. Let our expressions reflect the hope we have within.
