Have you ever felt lonely during this season of life we're in? I know I have many times. Don't you feel uplifted when other moms reach out to you? You can do this for the women around you. God will align you with another mom, and will equip you to engage in conversation with her. Then wait to hear what his next step for you is.
A year ago I hung flyers up in my neighborhood to start a moms group. I had no clue who would contact me through Cafemom.com, but God knew. Today there are close to ten moms, including myself, who meet on a regular basis, with the kids and without. The support we give each other is priceless, as are the lives of each of these ladies.
If you are amazed at how God is using you in another moms life, or if you would like me to pray for you in this area of being more outward-focused, please let me know. I have so much more to learn, and I would be honored to pray with you. We're in this together.
Will you join with me in anticipating how God would have us be salt and light? When he gives us a God-sized task, he will provide for us each step of the way.
Many are the plans in a (wo)man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
A couple of months ago I was in desperate need for another mom to reach out to me! I felt alone and overwhelmed. I kept hearing in my head that I was a bad mom, even though I knew I was not! I finally, in desperation, reached out to my pastor's wife. It was hard because I didn't know her well at the time, but I knew God was calling me to do it. Ever since then I have been so blessed and encouraged! I have met other moms in my church and I am not feeling alone anymore and I am confiedent! I want to do the same for someone else, because the truth is, even the women who are examples to us and seem like they have it "all together" struggle sometimes too. We are all in it together. Thank you for your post!
