Motherhood has a way of exposing the places we feel weakest. The overstimulation, the overwhelm, the impatience, the pressure of feeling like you are not doing enough. All of it can leave us feeling defeated. In this episode, I’ll take you through 3 parts: 1. Identifying your weaknesses. 2. Responding to them, and 3. Walking in freedom. And if you need a place to slow down and bring those burdens to the Lord, my Journey to the Cross devotional journal is linked in the show notes. I'm glad you're here!
