Dear Moms – As we venture into a new calendar year we all carry hopes and dreams mingled with regrets and unanswered questions. Sometimes the will to continue begins to wane. The world around us gives us permission to be weak and forgo the most precious of all roles in the history of mankind – motherhood. Family members may not be supportive and our own bodies struggle to keep up with the plans we’ve made.
Where does a mother find firm footing and resolve?
There is a movement of older mothers reaching back and imparting courage to the moms who will go after us. This is why I write. Please take a moment and view this inspiring video from my dear friend, Sally Clarkson. This is not an advertisement – but a reminder that all of heaven is on your side as you give your lives to raise the next generation. Be encouraged.

“Motherhood is not just about meeting basic needs. God crafted motherhood to give women the opportunity to be warriors of righteousness in the battle of life. Women are intelligent and spiritual creatures who are capable of transforming history through building godly generations.” Sally Clarkson – I Take Joy

I needed that today especially! Thank you. My eyes need to be set firmly on Christ and the greater goal with my children. I get so overwhelmed with details like getting food on the table that I tend to loose sight of what I am here for.
Thanks for sharing! I have two big tears rolling down my face.
