Hi, my name is Sarah, and I actually like my kids.

Hi, my name is Sarah, and I actually like my kids.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Toxic mommy culture is running rampant right now with everything that’s going on in our world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was scrolling through FB last night and saw a meme that said:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Homeschool Day 1: Trying to get this kid transferred out of my class.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My 13-year-old daughter was sitting next to me and asked, “Why do people hate their kids?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, I did not have an answer for her because I honestly do not understand it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Motherhood is not easy, but it is a blessing, not a curse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is much more fulfilling and much more important than any advancement in career could ever give.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our culture no longer values the family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s no wonder that abortion is so prevalent and the younger generation delays having children.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why wouldn’t they when we make it sound so terrible?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We wonder why this generation of kids struggles with depression and suicide.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Could it be that they are online seeing all of these memes about parents who despise them?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The very people whose job it is to love and nurture them?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our priorities have been out of line for far too long.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s time to wake up. We can do better.

So... how are you, really?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The world is a mess right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of people are sick.
A lot of people are stuck at home.
A lot of people are still looking for toilet paper. *iykyk 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s pretty much business as usual around here, though.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other than packed grocery stores and canceled schools, my days look pretty normal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not much has had to change in our home, and I am grateful for that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know it’s not quite so easy for everyone else.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an introvert, I’ve been preparing for this my entire life. 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think it’s super important during times like this to:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> focus on facts over fear
>> have a sense of humor
>> enjoy your family
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, most importantly, remember that God is sovereign and his plans always prevail.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is something you are grateful for or something that brings you a sense of peace during this time?

Does your life reflect Christ or the culture?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I read through the Bible lately, I see a common theme emerging...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Christians are called to live counter to the culture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Christ, himself, was countercultural.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our hearts are deceptive. Deceit is clever and cunning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It sounds good at first, but before we know it, we are trapped.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our culture is rampant with deceit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why it’s super important to be in your Bible every single day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Read it. Study it. Store it in your heart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A life lived for Christ WILL produce fruit. In him we have boldness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling...” Eph. 1:18

If you’re a working mom, do you feel like that d

If you’re a working mom, do you feel like that detracts from your ability to be fully present with your husband and children at home?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know there are circumstances that make it necessary for moms to work, but I also know that society encourages us to prioritize building a career over building a family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m curious to know...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> If you work outside the home, do you wish you could stay home?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> If you are a stay-at-home mom, are you satisfied with your role?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below, and let’s chat! 👇🏼

Don’t believe the lies, ladies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of that stuff on the left seems empowering at first.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Until you get to the bottom and realize that striving leaves you exhausted and empty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-centeredness is never a good thing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are not enough, and that is ok because in Christ you are made whole.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without relying on your own strength.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is it ok to set goals and try to improve your life?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just make sure you stay in tune with what really matters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And don’t believe the lies the world tells you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don’t have to do it all.
You don’t have to build an empire.
You don’t have to dream bigger.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the real secret to success.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I spent the last few years striving for the world's version of success, and I vowed to do things differently in 2020.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who's with me?

But, how many water bottles do you own, really?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My husband saw this one when he got home from working out this morning and said...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“You have a new water bottle every time I see you drinking water.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t help it. It’s a problem.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This one actually does help me drink more water though.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All I drink is water, but getting enough of it is something I struggle with when it’s cold outside.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s about to change, though. Spring is coming, y’all! 🌿
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s supposed to be 70 degrees here today and that makes my heart happy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re going to spend the day cleaning out the garage and then grill hamburgers for dinner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your weekend plans?
