Motherhood (44)
  1. They say girls in our society should have nothing to worry about. They should have the opportunity for education and choices far beyond generations before.
  2. Never has the law fallen so hard on me as in motherhood. Never before was I more aware that my best wasn’t good enough.
  3. We need a God who can heal us of true guilt and false guilt. We need a Christ who not only removes the shame we feel for what we’ve done, but who washes away the shame that others have smeared upon us.
  4. God knows our need. He knows how it is to raise unruly children. He is very experienced in dealing with rebellion.
  5. Being a run-of-the-mill, mediocre parent is a gift to your children. It models for them what life is all about: the little things, the overlooked things, the minuscule elements of daily life that—in various ways—are God’s gifts to us.
  6. That image of the “godly woman” haunted me from examples in the Bible of honorable women.
  7. You have suffered your son to come unto Jesus; but fathers, don’t let him die!
  8. Every single child we raise has a completely unique perspective, personality, strength, and weakness.
  9. You are free to love your children without any expectations because you have been loved immeasurably.
  10. A twelve-year-old girl stomped out of the room and slammed her bedroom door. Her two parents sat at the table completely befuddled. They had been trying to lead her to grace, to forgiveness, to a remembering that she was loved.
  11. Moms, your worth is not determined by what present you get on Mother’s Day. Everything that is true about you was said on the cross thousands of years ago.
