Hey Moms - Did You Know You're Good Enough?

I know for many of us moms, we have this something in the back of our mind that tells us we’re not enough. For many of us, this drives us to constant work. Work to show that we are super mom, work to show we can do it all. Work because we feel like no one else can do it as good as we can.

How can we be enough?

Where's My Murphy's Repellant? Living The Life We We're Meant To Live Part 2

Last post we learned that, “joy is an outward sign of inward faith in the promises of God.” (Tommy Newberry– The 4:8 Principle) and that joy is not an emotional phantom floating in and out of our lives. We can choose to be joyful because joy is not based on our circumstances.

Where's My Murphy's Repellant? Living The Life We We're Meant To Live

Seems like one of the society's favorite things to do is complain.

When was the last time you heard the news anchor tell about the wonderful things happening in the world today, the lives being changed? How about our weather reports? Or, when was the last time your heard there was going to be a 70% chance of sunshine instead of a 30% chance of rain?

Is That My Response-ability?

How do you respond when the pressure is on? What's your response when things aren't going your way?

How To Stop Sabotaging Yourself And Your Happiness

What do you say to yourself when you have those moments of frustration?

What do you say to yourself when you're not feeling up to a certain task or your project didn’t go as planned? How about when you burned dinner for your guests or shrunk your favorite sweater? Are you encouraging to yourself? Do you tell yourself, “you’ll get it next time, just shake it off, give yourself some slack, give yourself time to learn?”
