In reply to Valerie Murray. Being a mom is a vital ministry! I've heard of that book, but have not read it. Thanks, Valerie!

I was in this exact place when my kids were younger. It was such a conflicting time. There were so many things I wanted to be a part of but childcare issues always stood in the way. I even felt guilty that I couldn’t find childcare. Then God showed me that my ministry was with my children during this season in my life and I WAS in a vital ministry. I read the book, The Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson and my perspective totally changed. I can’t wait to read your book because I have a feeling it will hit home for me.

…not doing the hard things but having a hard time… Oh, Nikki! I’ve been there. Jesus is walking with you!

This is a truly wonderful message, and one that o really needed. I’m not doing the hard things… But I’m having a hard time. I still have faith and God sees this!! Thanks so much for sharing!

I too have these feelings. But then I think of all the people God used in the Bible to do His marvelous Works, and I know He could use me too.

In reply to Kathy. Thanks, Kathy! I love how Marian Vischer put it in a post a few weeks ago, "I face the uncomfortable truth that the Christian life is not about sustained winning. It is about sustained dependance."

I’ve had these very thoughts myself — thinking that truly living out my faith should look radical and my lifestyle should be extremely different from those around me. But you’re right — Jesus wants our dependence on Him, not our performance for Him. Can’t wait to read your book!
