The Motherhood Journey Newsletter - Week 20

“And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3

Hello sweet Mummas,

Welcome to this weeks email and this space where we come as we are full of all the glories and struggles that motherhood holds. Motherhood brings colours, sounds, energy and creativity in a way nothing else does. As I sit surrounded by toys right now I glory in the reality that I am living my once dreamed desires many years ago. Thank you Lord for the true gift of children… even when it may not always look that way. Let’s look eternal mummas.

Let’s chat motherhood and Jesus all smooshed up together!
Lets do this thing with intentionality, heart and peace as we go at it with a whole heart all for His glory! He is faithful to sustain us for the work He calls us to.

Hope your weeks are being pumped with peace (or even the pursuit of that) and that you were encouraged to grow in this from last weeks poddy - ‘Protecting your Peace !’

Real Life in the motherhood journey:

A little glimpse from our week!

This week was fun, filled with ballet classes where the girls are practicing for a mermaid recital, homeschool doing maths and english alongside lots of interest lead ideas, jumping on the trampoline, cooking yummy food, having friends come visit the farm for the weekend and special moments after church where the kids spent hours playing with driftwood on the beach with new friends. The flowers are starting to bloom as spring approaches!!

Also - super exciting! We are starting off a worship night in our little town tonight in an old theater right in the middle of town. Would love your prayers for Gods great move in this place!

Walking in His truth:

The pursuit of my heart right now is to truely KNOW God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Not just know their ways. Not just know their Words. But to pursue whole heartedly to KNOW each of them individually and together.

“And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”

Jesus Word shares that He is our bread, living water, strength, guidance, way, truth, faith, hope and much much more. All these things are true, and yet how often mummas can we think we need to obtain all these things ourselves as we pour out endlessly in motherhood. I want this not to be the case. If Jesus promises to be all these things for me, I want to see and hear and know deeply Him in each of these ways.

Let’s catch ourselves mummas as we walk along to draw our eyes up constantly. To calm ourselves and look within to what the small still voice of the Spirit is speaking. Lets’ slow down our days, decrease the noise and look at what the Word simply says on a topic. Living by Faith rather then sight, living by the Spirit over the carnal (5 senses) flesh is a continual journey. One that isnt strained for, but rather chosen and surrendered to a good God to form in us the ability.

My desire right now and encouragement to you is that we would set our selves up for success, continually turn our hearts towards Him and even more welcome Him to be the salvation, hope and help in each of our situations.

He has you. Be blessed as you walk forward in His forever kindness and joy.

Love always
