We live in a world that normalizes overwhelmed mot

We live in a world that normalizes overwhelmed motherhood. We are led to believe the more baggage we carry and the more energy we sacrifice for our families, the better a mother we are! There are virtually badges of honor given for stress and busyness. All the while Jesus is reaching for us, wanting us to let go of all the burdens that we carry because He never intended for us to live that way. Maybe we don’t want to bother Jesus with the things that burden us the most because as moms we think we’re supposed to be able to carry those things. We’re not supposed to ask for help, and we’re not supposed to tell anybody that we're struggling. We are supposed to be able to do it on our own.
The Burden Bearer Himself tells us several times in His Word that we are wise to cast our burdens on Him because He cares for us. The One who made us in His image delights in the details of our days, wants to know the ways in which we struggle, and waits to hear the heavy thoughts that weigh us down. He wants us to ask for His help and admit our weakness. He knows for certain we are not able to do it on our own. He never intended for us to live this way.
If this encumbered version of motherhood resonates with you, there is a better, truer way. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Let Him change your life, even into motherhood. The truth will set you free: free from carrying all the things; free from believing you have to do it all; free from believing this is the way He intended you to live.
Press on, Mama!

Please give a BIG welcome to this month's contributing writer: Erin Woodfin! After 8 years in full-time Children’s ministry, Erin decided to be a stay-at-home mom. She and her husband, Michael, have three girls: Audrey Jane, Susie Kay, and Penny Grace. They love to go on adventures as a family. Camping in the woods with a lake nearby is their favorite. They love to watch baseball. Michael is a big Braves fan. They love spending time with others, especially if it involves tacos. When they get the chance, Michael and Erin love having deep conversations over a perfectly hot cup of coffee.

“I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you

“I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Who are you that you should be afraid…”
God is more than able to revive the broken places of our motherhood and our lives. If we believe that, then the next question we’re led to ask is: is He willing?
I think, Mama, that’s the very place where our faith is challenged. We don’t know how to reconcile our hurt and questions and brokenness when God’s loving answer may be, “No.”
The Lord is teaching me that even if I don’t experience restoration or redemption on this side of heaven, He is still able to heal me and repair my heart as I stand up from the ashes of what’s been lost. In Isaiah 51:12 (NKJV) God says, “I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid?”
You see, I think sometimes our biggest fear isn’t that we won’t see the wrong in our life made right. But rather, our biggest fear may be that if our circumstances aren’t made right, we won’t be able to handle it. God doesn’t promise to fix everything right now, but He DOES promise to comfort us and be our hiding place in the darkest of times. That’s how we can be certain He loves us, even if we don’t see the end of the story before we get to heaven.
Press on, Mama!

Lord, Today I pray for the mama who has dry bones

Lord,
Today I pray for the mama who has dry bones in her life. God, her circumstances seem hopeless and her future looks bleak. Maybe she has a wayward child. Maybe her financial situation is growing dimmer by the day. Maybe her relationship with her husband is strained and she feels like it’s beyond repair.
Today, Lord, will You breathe on the dry bones of her life? Will You show her nothing is too far gone for You to fix or heal? Please revive the tired and dry places of her heart and her circumstances. Please show her Your unmatched power and glory as You lovingly hold her through her pain.
Lord, we cry out to dry bones, “Come alive.”
In Your Name we pray, amen.
