Motherhood - no matter if you're a working mom or stay at home mom - is really tough sometimes. It can really leave us each day with a sense of wondering if we're doing it right. You know, it's a long term investment. You don't see big returns in the short term. Raising a child can easily pull you into being hyper-focused on the tough everyday moments of life.
Lysa TerKeurstLife as a Christ follower will always be a learning process of depending less on our own strength and more on God's power.
Lysa TerKeurstAt the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.
Lysa TerKeurstMy goal should never be to raise kids that make me look good. (Oh but how my flesh craves this!) My goal should be to raise kids who love God and spend their lives making His goodness known in their corner of the world.
Lysa TerKeurstHere's an encouraging word for someone tonight - don't think you're not doing what God called you to do just because things don't seem as glamorous as you thought they would be. If you are a woman who honors God right where you are, you are in ministry. Keep being obedient, keep looking for the next open door of opportunity, and above all else hold closely to our Lord.
