The motherhood Journey Newsletter Week 14

“The Lord is my strength and my shield;
 in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
 and with my song I give thanks to him..” Psalms 28:7

Hello sweet Mummas,

What a banger of a bible verse we have today. I have been SOAKING on this verse. Everyday as I sit to journal, I firstly write this verse down as I want it to be melted into my brain. More about that in the God spot bellow..

For now welcome to this little email, in the midst of your very real, wonderful and maybe challenging lives surrounded by precious little (and loud) jewels.

You are here… pursuing goodness.. pursuing another narrative to enjoy motherhood. Well done!

Real Life in the motherhood journey:

A little glimpse from our week!

We have enjoyed a pretty normal week around here filled with play, sunshine, frost, firewood and chilllly weather. We keep things simple around here, lots of days at home. But they are always fun! The exciting part of this week is a room renovation for the kiddos! I have been waiting a very long time for this as the kids rug had to be removed from an unfortunate blackberry incident (after a huge harvest of two buckets full we arrived home from the woods and the boys poured them out over their rug, got their gumboots on and enjoyed a jumping splashing sesh. I know, not my finest moment in motherhood !!! eeeeee). We painted the floor boards and now get to fill the room with a rug and other nice intensional things!! YAY!

Get some ideas!

Here is what we ate for breakfast this week. It always changes, but always involves eggs because we have them in abundance and EVERY day involves blueberries cause I have a little someone who is obsessed . Hope you can get some ideas below:

Monday: Chocolate chip pancakes
Tuesday: Scrambled eggs on toast with blueberries
Wednesday: Smoothie with eggs
Thursday: Granola
Friday: Oat banana blender pancakes (recipe shared on previous email)
Saturday: Dippy eggs and toast
Sunday: toast and fried eggs with fruit

Recipe share: Our FAV sourdough discard pancakes. SO easy and SO healthy:

Walking in His truth:
So lets dive back int our amazing bible verse for the week and break down its glory so that you too can be uplifted and encouraged as you go about your day as a daughter of the most High KING!

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
 in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
 and with my song I give thanks to him.

Not only mummas is God our strength to get through anything we are facing right now (late nights with babies, melting down toddlers, constant need to feed the humans haha) He is ALSO our shield. He is the one who defends, protects and looks out over us. This is a huge relief for us as we progress on as a mumma, knowing we don’t need to stand for our rights or protect ourselves. We are covered. From this place we can healthy communicate support or changes that are needed rather than come from a defeated victim mentality.

Secondly, OUR heart trusts in Him and we ARE helped. We choose this place of surrender and belief. and then guess what… God DOES help us. When we believe this will be the case for all our circumstances we position ourselves with faith! In what area do you need to truely believe you ARE (not will be) helped?

Lastly… our heart exults. do you know what this means? It means jubilant triumph (this is from the BLB). That is us rejoicing like crazy because the battle is won. We have our provision. We have our resources. We have our freedom. We have our salvation. In whatever area this could relate in your life.

Let’s let our songs, our tongues, our actions, our everything be used as a vessel to give thanks because of all these truth thats have just been discovered.

You are so taken care of mumma. Keep pressing in to Him. He will be enough.

Love always
