A nice series of blog posts perfect for moments when you don't have time to read, but need a little pick-me-up!

So inspiring and filled with wisdom. I've copied out numerous quotes. Truths that speak deeply to my heart: "Lay down pettiness. Lay down fussiness. Lay down resentment about the dishes, about the laundry, about how no one knows how hard you work.
Stop clinging to yourself and cling to the cross." Ouch! Edifying, convicting and yet encouraging.

Honestly, I did not make it through this one. I had high hopes for a book that would remind me that when I am failing at motherhood (which definitely happens) Jesus is more than enough. This collection of essays did not do that for me, but rather left me feeling like I could not stand up to the writers’ righteousness. They fully lost me in one of the essays that definitely seemed to imply that to become a wife and mother one had to give up the pursuit of education and a career (although while making this claim the author tried to deny that she was saying that...). That may have worked well for that author, but it is a privilege-filled mindset that is unrealistic to many women and places unfair burden and judgement on women who do choose to work outside the home.

I've lost count how many times I have been told by generations older than me "you are brave for raising kids in this age, I'm not sure I would." and for good reasons people say this to me. The world is bent on destruction and we are on the fast path. This little book puts motherhood into perspective from an eternal viewpoint. was is true in the past is still true today. The question is not am I "Mom enough" (or brave enough or crazy enough or even stupid enough as some might suggest) but is God "God enough"?
