Chapter 9: Hope for the Journey

This chapter sums up beautifully everything we have talked about throughout the entire book so far. It is meant to be a heartfelt encouragement for you, mom, as you continue to persevere in your calling to motherhood. Some big takeaways from this episode:

"GOD DOES NOT CALL THE EQUIPPED, HE EQUIPS THE CALLED."

Believe this today, friend. God has called you to this task of motherhood, and He is equipping you and with you every step of the way. Trust in Him as your companion to finish well.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of faith. For the joy set before Him he endured the cross, scorning it's shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Hebrews 12:1-2

May you, mom, count it all as joy. Whatever road lies beforeyou. Joy in the serving. Joy in the suffering. Because God is working in it all. And He is using whatever it is to shape you into the beautiful mama He has created you to be.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

James 1:2-3

I pray this book has brought you hope and encouragement and most of all helped point your heart towards the true source of rest, Jesus. Thanks for being here!

It is Holy Week, and in honor of this most reverent week and holiday, I wanted to share a bit about the Passover and how so much of ​the Exodus story points us right to Jesus. What an incredible way to start our week and hopefully help you posture your heart towards what Easter is actually about.

​

Join me this week as we talk about Jesus in the Passover, and I will be sharing some of what our family does, as Christians, to honor and celebrate this glorious day.

I hope this episode was informative as well as encouraging to you to find new ways to help you celebrate Easter (and Passover) in your home. It is never too early or too late to start new traditions! May this one be a blessing to you and your family.

Happy Easter, friends!

I know mama, you are tired. You have been burning the candle at both ends. As busy moms, rest may feel like a far-off concept, however, Jesus is inviting you and me, as believers, into a life of real rest, rest for our souls.

Come with me as we continue the Weary Mama Series and discuss chapter 8 of my book, REST FOR THE WEARY MAMA: WORDS OF HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE WORN-OUT MOM, “Finding Rest”

A brief practical way you can find true rest, even in the chaos of motherhood:

Remove distractions

Entrust God

Stay in God’s word

Talk to God

True rest is found with a heart well-connected to the Father.It takes practice and intentionality, but we are promised the gift of soul rest when we learn to come to Jesus and learn to do life with Him.

Thanks, friends, as always for being here!
