The Motherhood Journey Newsletter Week 8

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Hello sweet mummas,
Welcome to another week in the motherhood journey! I am slipping in here to do a quick email to say hello and hopefully bring some God encouragement to your full and messy and joyful and unpredictable weeks haha. I wanted to share the above verse as it connects with my God spot at the bottom of the email as its been buzzing on my mind today. This verse is referring to financial giving. However we can see the heart of God through it for motherhoo. And I think it can be sooo easily applied to our heart in motherhood and wifehood. To give cheerfully and to give intensionally what you can (your small loaves and fish) and allow Him to multiply it for His glory. You say yes, He does the rest! Let’s do this mummas!!

Real Life in the motherhood journey:

A little glimpse from our week!

Eeeeee I feel like its been ages since I have touched base with you guys! Hello! Here is a few snippets of what we have gotten up to recently. We have had the honour of our close friends move into our town and its been AMAZING! Moving to the country I never thought anyone else would come along. But God can do the miraculous and after almost a year and half living here, we now have such a treasured family of believers to walk alongside each other. So thats amazing. We also are continuing in Ballet and have continued to enjoy soccer for our eldest kiddos - our first goal was scored which was celebrated with donut! We have been potty training as you would have seen our last email was paused because of that and I can successfully say we now have big boy undies on yayyyy!! Enjoy a few pictures below and I will chat with you legends on the next email.

Get some ideas!

What I wanted to share with you mummas as a little ‘get some ideas’ spot is this FREE resource from Tessa Romero! Its a 24 day video coaching with her where she does a little snippet of just one or two minutes as a prompt to help renew your mind in your identity and in motherhood.Its a free pdf to do in your own time. its super quick. I do this alongside Holy Spirirt and it has already been so beneficial. I love that I can centre myself with this each morning in my quiet time and I know its working on my mindset a little at a time. To get this download you will need to find Tessa Romero on instagram and click her latest post which has the details to get the download. Its for a limited time!! I am going to share some of my journal enteries from it in next weeks podcast!!

Walking in His truth:

In tomorrows podcast I am sharing all about two things - mastering motherhood and enjoying motherhood. These are two areas that I share on very breifly, but are two areas I am super passionate about. I LOVE being a mum. But this didn’t just happen by accident. I dove deep into God and still do about this topic and have been renewed and are still being shaped by His goodness to let go and grow into a love and appreciation for a very giving role. My little God spot this week mummas is one of encourgaement, for you to do the same. Make sure you are not listening to what the world says about being a mother and wife. And if you realise through reading this that you actually hadn’t given it a thought then this is your time to start diving in to a deeper but more life filled place than you have ever found. It’s goes so far beyond just the good moments of motherhood, it brings in strength, purpose and determination through the hardest moments. Lets’ be mummas who take joy and pride in our role. who LOVE caring for our husbands rather then constantly demanding they are not doing enough for us. Let’s be there through the tantrums and the meltdowns and show our kids we can be a safe and firm place for them. All through His strength continually being shown we are nothing on our own, but something beautiful in His presence. All glory to God.

Love always
