A Glimpse into Our Weekend

A Glimpse into our Weekend | Faith and Composition Whew, it’s been a bit quiet over here! The mister was out of town for a few days last week, and my mom came down from Missouri to share some time with us and help out while the hubbie was away. And while she’s here, well, we play … a lot! Needless to say, there weren’t many moments spent composing blog posts.

But the air was crisp, flag football was played, we walked a bit of our new land (we’re going to be building soon!), soup simmered away on the stove, and on Sunday we went on a lakeside hike. It really was lovely. Here are a few glimpses of our hike through the lens of my iPhone (all images captured with myiPhone 5). If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a few of these. And speaking of Instagram, I’m currently taking part in Embrace the Camera, a challenge to get out from behind the lens and in front of the camera. If you’re an Instagrammer, join me. It’s been a lot of fun!

Mom to 5 | Author “When Mothering is Hard & No One Sees” | Inspiring moms to anchor in Christ, nurture grace-filled families, foster lifegiving homes

How would you parent differently if you knew Jesus How would you parent differently if you knew Jesus was coming back soon?

I’ve been thinking about this question because it’s so easy to get caught up in the immediate demands of motherhood.

The meals. The laundry. The schoolwork. The activities. The endless decisions about what our children need and what we should be doing better.

And while these things have their place, I wonder how often we pause to consider the eternal significance of the work we’re doing.

Are we so busy preparing our children for the life we hope they’ll have here that we forget to prepare them for eternity?

Are we more concerned with their success than their souls? Their achievements than their character? Their comfort than their faith?

We don’t know when Jesus will return. But we do know that our days are numbered, our children are entrusted to us for a season, and the work of discipling them matters.

This isn’t an invitation to mother out of fear or to carry the impossible weight of saving our children. Only Jesus can do that.

It’s an invitation to lift our eyes.

To remember what matters most.

And to be faithful with the ordinary, unseen moments God has placed right in front of us.

Let’s parent with eternity in mind.

“Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” — Matthew 24:44

Save this as a reminder of the calling we’ve been given, and share it with a mom who wants to raise children who know and love Jesus.

There are things I can’t do for my children. There There are things I can’t do for my children. There are places I can’t walk then through. Decisions I can’t make for them. Hardships I can’t overcome.

But I know the One who can. I know the God who can lead them through the valley. Tend their broken heart. Wipe every tear from their eye. I know the God who can turn a valley of dry bones into a testimony of resurrection , and I know He can do the same for them.

So I get on my knees, and I do the one thing I know I can do even when I’m otherwise helpless. I pray. Fervently. Without ceasing. On my knees. And I know when I do, God hears from heaven and will answer my prayer.

Of all the things I do, nothing is more important Of all the things I do, nothing is more important or more effectual than going to battle for my children on my knees! The prayers of a praying parent are powerful indeed.

If you have a longing you can’t shake, if there’s If you have a longing you can’t shake, if there’s something you believe the Lord has placed on your heart, and it hasn’t yet come to fruition, I want to encourage you … 

Don’t give up. Don’t shelve it. Don’t fall for the lie that you’re too old or too irrelevant. God’s timing is not our own. And a sometimes His NO is simply an invitation to a better YES.
