Proverbs 31 girl wasn’t a woman at one point in time. Be gentle with yourself, mama. #womensministry #proverbs31woman #proverbs #proverbs31 #supergirl #supermom #momfail #authenticity #authentic #lifebeyondthepicketfence #intentionalparenting

After a full month, I set aside this morning to hear from God. Journaling, reading the #bible, reflecting on the moments God has been whispering that I can’t quite hear when surrounded by noise, responsibilities, and my own thoughts. As I sat on the bridge in our back yard, I poured out to Him. You see, Hearing God is a two way street. We talk to Him, and the Holy Spirit speaks to us. It’s believing in faith that what he said in the Word and Spirit is congruent with his son Jesus Christ. When we fill this space with everything of the world, it’s so hard to hear from Him. When I restore my soul with the voice of Jesus Christ, the less noise I want. Of social media, news, and irrelevant things. God leading us beside still waters means we have to follow him and be quiet enough to hear the still waters. Being beside still waters in person shows me how this really looks. It’s a discipline to restore your soul, with the true Living Water, Jesus Christ. But it’s the blood and breathe of life. . . #Fledge #womeninministry #ministry #bible #prayer #womenwhominister #lifebeyondthepicketfence #meditation #psalm23

Do you have a case of stolen identity? I did. ⠀ I've been a stay at home mom, a working mom, and a work from home mom. ⠀ I've been a basketball, volleyball, tennis, track, cross country, baseball, 4H, theater, show choir, piano, gymnastics, cheerleader, soccer, and band mom.⠀ I've been a teacher mom and a counselor mom, a writer and a speaker mom. ⠀ I've been a good mom and a bad mom.⠀ My list goes on. Does yours, too?⠀ . But when we take away the "mom" labels, we are a woman. A woman who is more than the role of mom. ⠀ It's important we cultivate our identity as women while our kids at home. ⠀ Because when they leave, we will be lost when being the mom we know is no longer our job description. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ For help in knowing how, get my new book, Fledge: Launching Your Kids Without Losing Your Mind. ⠀ .⠀ #fledge #fledgethebook #parenting #intentionalparenting #parents #parenthood #parentingquotes #faith #woman #parenting101 #women ⠀ ⠀

500 miles later, we are home safely. To the naked eye it might seem like just two parents going on a weekend getaway. 🏍 This trip was our first non-kid trip in 15 years😳. Surprisingly, there were no tears for this mama. And we didn’t fight or have those moments of awkward silence. 🙄 We really enjoyed each other. I guess mama is growing up, too, in this stage of #Fledge. Marriage is a real part of it, the adjustment. The loud silence. The sadness of just two. But some days you realize it started with just you two. And it’s going to be ok when the last one leaves. . . #fledge #fledgethebook #parenting #marriage #intentionalparenting #marriageafterkids #parenthood #parents #family #faith #motherhood #lifebeyondthepicketfence #momswhoread

Today I chit chatted with a sales clerk in a boutique in Nashville Indiana. She talked about her family, I talked about mine. She said she was struggling with being a brand new empty nester. I told her I was a writer, and I wrote this book that names the grief of your kids growing older. She started crying. We hugged for a really long time. Two strangers, Two moms. We understand. . . . Fledge is for you, mama. It’s for you now if you have Little’s and again when they’re bigger. If for you busy mamas trying to hold time still. And it’s for you mamas whose kids are leaving, your first or last. The loss all along is real. . . #fledge #fledgethebook #home #mamas #intentionalparenting #parenting #parenthood #parentingquotes #parentinghacks #rootsandwings #kairos #lifebeyondthepicketfence
