For the Fellow Mama

-

 


I have so much else to share (hopefully soon), but I came across this song that Cory Asbury wrote for his wife when she was going through post-partum depression and wanted to share it here. My heart aches when I think back to my own post-partum months - the dark thoughts during middle of the night feedings, the feelings of being misunderstood. Whether or not you're a mama, may this song minister to your heart.

Joyful Invitation

As, when the Jews from all parts of the country went up thrice a year to worship at Jerusalem, they called on their friends in the road and excited them to go along with them, so shall many of the Gentiles court their relations, friends, and neighbours, to join with them in embracing the Christian religion (v. 3):  "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the  Lord;  though it be uphill and against the heart, yet it is the mountain of the Lord,  who will assist the assent of our souls towards him.’’  If only we would as easily invite all our friends, neighbors, family, and co-workers to know the Lord , as we would invite them to parties or to hang out..

The Worth of Hiddenness

For much of my 20’s, I aspired to a certain idea and vision of greatness. I received prophecies about my greatness and how the Lord wanted to use me to “impact nations.” I heard these kinds of words over and over, and these words were great to hear – but naturally, after many years of not making much impact, I felt like I had failed God to some measure (I believe my experience is not uncommon). I felt I needed to figure out how to achieve “big impact” in order to truly fulfill my calling and destiny in life.   The Great Commission says in Matthew 28:19-20:  "Go therefore and  make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...”  When read plainly, the Great Commission does put forth this command of impacting nations. The problem is that we have interpreted the Great Commission in a way that makes it unachievable to 99% of Christians who do not have large platforms or access to thousands of people. We have interprete

"Proverbs 31 was Written for the Sons"

I've been watching this Paul Washer sermon called "Are You Ready for a Relationship?" He has some good stuff, except most of the time he's talking to men and what men should be like..I didn't find out til the end that it's cause he actually was addressing a bunch of dudes, haha. One thing he said toward the end: "By desiring a hiddenness, simplicity, chasteness in a woman, it will draw that out of a woman..that's part of what leadership is." That got me thinking..I think a woman can tell if someone is the one for her by what kinds of things makes her attractive to him. If it's her personality or looks, then the relationship won't last. But if he's attracted to the traits that God desires in a woman, which are inward beauty, simplicity, a gentle, quiet spirit, then he'll love her the way God loves her. He'll appreciate her for who she was made to be, and he'll be able to draw those quality traits out of her so that she shin
