Nowhere in the Bible does it ever say that we have this mothering thing on our own! In fact everyone in Scripture had to depend on God. It's no different than us! God gives us our very breath, all the many blessings, health, protection, love and immeasurable grace and yet God does not give us the freedom to "have it" why would he need him so desperately if we could do it all ourselves?
In many ways this has been a challenging week. Joshua's dedication was Sunday, we had a big gathering for that! It was a beautiful ceremony and was happy with all our support. There was a difficult moment in there which I really didn't process until the next day. Tuesday we took mama to the airport she is already safely back in Slovenia. With big boy turning 3 a lot of reminders of our really rough season have surfaced. It's really hard to know where we were. Yet the grace is how far we've come! If you saw me today with my kiddos it would shock you if I told you Nathan's first year was the greatest struggle of my life!
In every part of our journey Jesus never left us to figure everything out. We prayed and pleaded for him to plead our case. Reality set in when we were granted our son back home! I may have done the hard work and Jesus did everything else! He made sure we were cared for. This is the reason I am writing an apology. Jesus, (not us) has every person's dreams, desires, calling, and future in the palm of his hands. He alone knows! So next time I see a struggling mama instead of saying you got this I need to point her to Jesus. From now on I will say "Jesus got this!" The truth is he does!! He took this angry mom and with each new revelation is making her into a Gospel Centered mom! I will never not need Jesus! None of us will ever outgrow our need for Jesus! He doesn't make us enough He alone is Enough.
I hope that you can take the next step on becoming a Gospel Centered Mom and release the pressure of being enough. No matter what we think or try to do to be enough for our kiddos we will always fall short because we were never intended to be! Jesus and Jesus alone is Enough!

So here goes... I'm sorry if I have misrepresented the True Gospel never my intention and I will be very careful to focus on who really is enough!
