Root #1: A Misunderstanding of the Role of Motherhood

<p>One of the things I personally struggled most with as a young mom, was a lack of understanding about the role of motherhood in my own life.</p> <p>I knew who I wanted to be for my children, and I knew what my end goal was for their lives (salvation, following hard after Jesus, etc), but somehow I forgot that motherhood is about more than just "raising little people to become thriving, Jesus-loving adults. Motherhood is also about God making me into His faithful daughter" (Stacey Thacker). When the challenges came (and they did) I saw them as a burden, proof that I couldn't be a good mom, and allowed them to make me mad at God for allowing them in the first place. It's ugly, I know, but it's the truth, and the truth was that this misunderstanding caused me weariness it didn't have to.</p> <h4><strong>What I needed was a more biblical perspective...a biblical understanding of the role of motherhood in <em>my</em> life, not just my role in my children's lives. </strong></h4> <p>Today, on the podcast Stacey Thacker and I are exploring just what a more biblical perspective on this looks like, and the difference it can make in the life of a weary mom.</p> <p>Tune in now!</p> <p><strong>LINKS: </strong></p> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><a href= "http://www.millionprayingmoms.com/root-of-weariness-1-misunderstanding-the-role-of-motherhood"> Show Notes</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/millionprayingmoms/">Million Praying Moms on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.millionprayingmoms.com/unraveled/">Unraveled: Hope for the Mom at the End of Her Rope</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.millionprayingmoms.com/the-book/">Praying Mom Book</a></p> <p><a href="bit.ly/how-2-pray">Subscribe to the MPM podcast email</a> and get a free copy of Brooke's How to Pray God's Word for Your Children eBook!</p>
